What qualifies as assault? 

William Jeffery:

What is the statute of limitation on Rec? Basketball? Assault?

Marcus:

What? No, that's fine. Um, I did not know that is what the topic was said. No, I mean, like, just like training. Or like, what is? You mean, like hard fouls or like,

William Jeffery:

assault in general, right? Like, if you get, like, what? Like, how heavy does the ball have to be to warrant it to be assault? Right, like so if you get hit with a medicine ball, that's gonna hurt substantially more than like a handball. Yes.

Marcus:

Yeah. What? Okay, so do you plan on throwing the ball at people?

William Jeffery:

Or wait, wait, if the clocks winding down, you

Marcus:

know, maybe for you implicate who you are. Should you explain the story? Or like, how do we how do we

William Jeffery:

do this? I'm just saying, I'm playing basketball and I throw a ball. Oh, someone happens to get hit? Am I liable for damages? No. Okay, that's all I want to make sure. Because it seems that you know, NBA players are held to a higher standard. Oh, no, no, no. I feel like I've hit plenty of people in the face that rent games. I feel like the ticket when you purchase it it. This claimer may get hit in the face with balls. It says I hope it's not phrased that way.

Marcus:

I'm gonna go buy a ticket real quick to a game. Go and introduce I

William Jeffery:

hope you have another job because I can't afford tickets to anything.

Marcus:

I'm just gonna cash out on my vacation time.

William Jeffery:

You better do it twice. He bought in two tickets. Right? You who are you? Who am I? So girls dem sugar right? Is that that column?

Marcus:

No beanie man who? Introduce your show. Oh, I

William Jeffery:

will. And this is head above hypocrisy. I guess I'm not anyone's sugar. quite sour. Actually.

Marcus:

You give me somebody's brown sugar.

William Jeffery:

No, I'm too dark to be brown sugar. And I'm not in good enough shape to shoot a video topless watch me. I'm also very cold a lot. So I wouldn't do it even if I was in good shape.

Marcus:

Who's that guy? That's it Sugar, sugar, sugar.

William Jeffery:

That was Hispanic gentleman. I don't I don't follow their music. Because they play it too early in the morning.

Marcus:

I'm Marcus and before we start offending people, I'm gonna go ahead and buy tickets and figure out what the disclaimer is and

Unknown:

why you'll drop

Marcus:

to master.

William Jeffery:

I better be to a Globetrotter game, if you buy a Laker tickets, then you're fired. And I want to get hired at your job because I tried to buy tickets to a YMCA and they told me there's problem with my car and I'm like, well it's a company called

Marcus:

Okay, cool. Look at that I found a couple of are the Lakers like COVID 77 bucks for like your ticket.

William Jeffery:

150 Why 150? Well, you need two tickets. Unless you're gonna stay in the whole time. And then I guess you get one ticket. But I don't think they'll let you do that. And I think you still have to buy two

Marcus:

tickets. Like who am I giving you a ticket to

William Jeffery:

me how you gonna get time off work? And now I mean, I had to figure out how you're paying for this and this is just for research purposes right? This was I was gonna just write it off or it's like I hid above hypocrisy tax however you want to look at it. Does the Bible prophecy not have a suite at the at the cryptocurrency center? No, we have one at Staples.

Marcus:

So if I if I'm not incorrect about these tickets, man, there is a disclaimer it lets you know that injuries that may happen at these events are not responsible, or the venue is not responsible for these.

William Jeffery:

I wonder if she did like fell down the stairs. You know no fault of a highly played player that she'd want like an apology from the janitorial staff or not sweeping up

Marcus:

the video where she's standing up and cheering to like, No, I

William Jeffery:

think just like walking back to her seat or something like he threw the ball from I think the inbounds or something attention. Yeah. Like if if if she was looking she had time away. And I mean, at the end of the day, it's a ball full of air. It's not like it was a brick throwing contest and she was standing you know, downfield

Marcus:

and that is a terrifying event to be

William Jeffery:

watching. Yeah, right. Like it could be much worse if she got hit and hit with a javelin or shot but they wouldn't it be interviewing it. I think wouldn't it? Well, part of it have to be on HBO because she had a javelin sticking out here. They can't put that on TV. Children watch the news.

Marcus:

So unfortunately, so um, she shouldn't get She shouldn't get a thank you. What does

William Jeffery:

he offered her front row tickets? And she was like, No, I want a personal apology. And I'm like, Well, I think the tickets mean, I'm sorry. But you know, if you don't want the tickets, then I guess you could just she got interviewed. So you know, we're talking about it. Maybe that's what she wanted. She wanted to be on the show. She was too shy to ask. She's like, I know how I'll get hit in the face with this balls. In situ message. She still can't be on the show. So I mean, my fall down the stairs and sue me. Why

Marcus:

would she want front row tickets to a basketball game that she just got hit?

William Jeffery:

That's true. Maybe he was trolling. That's why I'll give you maybe it's offered her nosebleeds like you know, and for your protection. I'll offer you tickets against the wall in the back. And, and a free bag of popcorn.

Marcus:

I'm decent. He can feed the birds. And I've seen a decent amount of basketball games. Players usually jump into the crowd.

William Jeffery:

Yeah, whole time.

Marcus:

Do you see the player?

William Jeffery:

I mean, you can try if you have money for frivolous lawsuits. I don't I don't I don't have money for legitimate lawsuits. I'm not about to sue a player for playing basketball at a basketball. Okay. I feel like I might lose that one. hockey games do the same thing. Like people that's worse if they have knives on their shoes. That's not what I meant. I meant when the puddle goes through the glass. You step on somebody at a hockey game? Once again. That's messy. Why would there be hockey skates in the crowd? You said it's the same thing in hockey games. The same sometimes people get stepped on in basketball games, but Nikes aren't sharp. So they out there all right, you might get a bruise. But you know,

Marcus:

same thing for baseball games, but they added that they got clean.

William Jeffery:

Basketball is the only place it's safe to get stepped on by a player. Maybe tennis was only two of them. Like there's more if you don't think you'd be down and they don't ever wait nothing. So if you tennis game if you step down, but like they don't usually go into the crowd because their stadiums are like they're built like, you know the amphitheater.

Marcus:

Right, New Year. Same stick, clearly. So there was another thing you sent me

William Jeffery:

about tennis. Tennis is a lot harder than you think. I tried to play once to not go well Will Smith

Marcus:

movie with the tennis players.

William Jeffery:

Oh, I thought he was playing tennis he just oh and raising parental movie and then do tennis when they play but he did about raising two girls that's that is comp. Oh, God couldn't do that. I have one girl and I'm barely surviving

Marcus:

sorry, not watching. trailing off there. But

William Jeffery:

I will say if she's at a basketball game, she gets hit with a ball. I would not be upset. Okay, so speak up, girl. Look down.

Marcus:

Speaking of people that look dumb. Did you hear about that story about that person that locked himself in the restroom of airplane for three hours?

William Jeffery:

For three that's a long time been really really hard. It was short it?

Marcus:

I don't believe it happened. I mean, of course you know, tick tock or whatever social media says it happened. It was

William Jeffery:

by themselves usually as two people for the Mile High Club that is like,

Marcus:

we're I met I've seen some videos where it's one person but like, then

William Jeffery:

you can check them you get a mile high club badge to go in there by yourself. I don't know. Like it's the same bad. I call this up myself. But that's like the half a mile.

Marcus:

So anyways, the point is that this woman, she tested a few hours before her flight to see if she had COVID Didn't

William Jeffery:

God celebrate in the bathroom with whatever stranger comes in here? No. So Marissa, please. Wow, that's crazy. It took three hours for somebody to come in the bathroom.

Marcus:

Can I finish the story? Thank you. So she decided on her flight. I feel a little sick. So she took another COVID test while on the flight and that tested positive

William Jeffery:

so at what point did she join the Mile High Club she didn't she decided so he just caught COVID on an airborne she

Marcus:

felt because she had Kosha I'm sorry she she had a sore throat and she decided

William Jeffery:

from her mile high club

Marcus:

if you weren't that nothing my oh hi happened. Guys, so

William Jeffery:

she got a sore throat trying to spice the story up man is that boy tell us about a sick old lady that got traction. She just went into the restroom. She was young didn't know how to work bathrooms herself in the restroom. That's not how quarantine for three. That's not how quarantine or viruses when you can't quarantine in a bathroom of an airplane. She went

Marcus:

in there and they like locked the door. She said they put a note on there and said out of order. They put a note on there. So that makes you stay in the restroom for three hours which I'm calling bullshit. Can I say? I hope there's a big button but I'm calling BS.

William Jeffery:

You think that she came out of the bathroom? When you're landing

Marcus:

you you hate flying and you've been to Denver numerous times and there's so much you know turbulence they tell you to go put your seatbelt on you know you can't be in the restroom. You tell me she was in a restroom. No. You know seatbelts They went through the whole planning procedure and everything.

William Jeffery:

What I'm telling you is that the air and an airplane is recycled. And she got a positive COVID test while on set airplane locking herself in the bathroom doesn't do anybody any favors in regards to protecting them from exposing them to COVID she felt like she just has to fly uncomfortably for no reason. I mean, I guess that's punishment for getting on an airplane that now you have to sit in a toilet cell, but it doesn't help anybody. It was her own suggestion. Yeah, it sounds like she would she has lots of terrible ideas so you know way to be consistent just I had the first bad idea of getting on the plane sick I'll follow that up with locking myself in the bathroom for no good reason. So if you got a great a moron good firm,

Marcus:

so if you got Kobe while on the plane, and like you happen to be sitting next to her during that flight Do you like sue

William Jeffery:

her? I mean, according to the basketball lady Yeah, you sue anybody that is involved with anything that happens to you for any reason so I guess I mean, I would sue the airline if I wanted to win any money is Raisa own like a fleet of airplanes is what I'm assuming some random woman for the doesn't even understand how to operate a bathroom door. I don't know. But she was a unless she comes from money all I get is a headache from her. So I'm gonna sue the airline if I want to win some money if I want to just ruin her day then sure I'll sue her but that's gonna cost me money.

Marcus:

Fair. She may come from money because apparently after she arrived in Iceland, the shuttle

William Jeffery:

Oh, yeah. She lied. Iceland broke. They should not a broke location. She was flying to Miami then I'm definitely not so.

Marcus:

Wow. So she was showing me Red Cross hotel where they bought a Hennessy in a bank. They had the whole, like, sweet experience. Were

William Jeffery:

waiting and Iceland. Yeah. Is they were going to quarantine her in the sweet or did they not know that she had COVID

Marcus:

They gave her a small little Christmas tree little bottle of wine. So nobody was

William Jeffery:

worried at any point about know the COVID they were just like, oh, well, she locked herself in the bathroom. So that should be fine. When there's wide open sleet, and that should be okay, too.

Marcus:

I mean, I think she was just doing it for attention. No one knew she had COVID Until she let the flight attendant know in a panic.

William Jeffery:

What as the thing that the whole point like masks and all that stuff is like even if you do have it, it's supposed to help the ratio transition. And again, it's recycled air and the bathrooms are not airtight. They're not so

Marcus:

that's different air.

William Jeffery:

What its risks. It's an airplane cabin. Yeah, so all of the air in the cabin is the same.

Marcus:

It's only for coach. I only fly first class.

William Jeffery:

Well, maybe you guys are protected from COVID. I'm pretty sure that first class gets COVID Just like coach does, because they use all the same oxygen because it's very difficult to separate oxygen in an airplane tube. Without any airtight room. I mean, maybe the cockpit but I don't you know if she did quarantined in there, but that's great. Then you get the pilot signal and people can land the plane. But the way she's been making decisions I wouldn't have been surprised if she just stormed the the cockpit and got herself shot trying to quarantine in there with pilot. I'm just trying to keep everybody safe. Air Marshal jumped out shot in the face.

Marcus:

So we can have in this the last thing I would like to just bring to your attention to you. I got a bill earlier because

William Jeffery:

tickets work or it was a fine like a ticket. Tickets and I had to buy two of I don't I'm assuming that I'm

Marcus:

writing those off on the company's tab. So did you

William Jeffery:

know he just got deducted from your check? Starting in January the vicious cycle?

Marcus:

Starting in January, California will be finding people that don't separate their trash.

William Jeffery:

Oh, that sounds like a challenge. What? Separate the trash how?

Marcus:

Well I mean, apparently that a lot of our trash is full of like our landfills are only 20% of actual trash. 80% is reusing things like food and stuff.

William Jeffery:

We have a food can you put food you don't want in the trash can? Where would they like us to put

Marcus:

it? Maybe they're gonna have a they said they're gonna introduce a new thing called a community compost.

William Jeffery:

What they need to introduce is job applications for people that want to work in sanitation and hire them to sort the trash. Oh, well,

Marcus:

you're not going to sell it yourself.

William Jeffery:

No, no put it in the bag and throw it in the can that they gave me I mean I would do cuz that's the agreement that I signed up for now. It's not spectrum cable. You can't change the parameters every few months just because you feel like it. There's no net neutrality for trash.

Marcus:

Well they're saying that these these facilities they're gonna be separate facilities where they take that trash

William Jeffery:

the what sounds like they've got it all figured out that we're gonna need my help to separate. Okay, well then do I get a separate Raiders fee I mean they may charge you if they charged me for not doing it they need to pay me for doing it you can't only give me a consequence isn't how laws work? It's not a law that can be a trash No it's a new taking out law change how you sort your trash. So so the police are going to come and check

Marcus:

out the police are gonna come who enforces the laws city official

William Jeffery:

is going to check my trash. And then

Marcus:

I don't know, to check your trash per se. I just know that this is a new law that they're trying to do in California.

William Jeffery:

Sounds like a challenge. Good luck, but I don't I'm not I don't work for sanitation. So you can try to find this

Marcus:

with the right stuff to be in like the green compost isn't that the trash and all the

William Jeffery:

I just want to be compensated for the work I do for the city? Well, I think fairly, I think

Marcus:

they want that green trashcan to be filled with like half eaten food and stuff like that,

William Jeffery:

right. And I need my wallet to be filled with a green as well that

Marcus:

they're going to dig duct green if you don't do it. Right. And that's what

William Jeffery:

they should do to the employees. But fortunately, I don't work for the city. So if they try to deduct money for me, there's gonna be real, I don't have a check coming in from them. So I don't know where the money was deducted from clearly you don't agree with this. I don't care about it. I don't work for the trash company or the city or whoever it is. I don't care.

Marcus:

This is a great way to start the new year with trash will just you know, some people don't change. You know it just like you know, this is the way to save the environment. Apparently, you know, California is doing it. But we're just gonna keep throwing this just like if you eat a pizza. You just have an extra trashcan for that pizza crust.

William Jeffery:

So now you want me to put extra trash cans in my house? Yeah. Well, it's outside

Marcus:

by extra trash cans.

William Jeffery:

Right. All right with ours to check them again for sorting the trash for them. I get it. Like a stipend. I mean, you got to buy a uniform. It's definitely like working targets. I get it. I did my first check. They take out like $35 for the red Polo. So that's fine. I think they'll take they'll take $35 out for like extra trash cans. That helped me do my job for the city that they're giving everyone.

Marcus:

The kids getting great for Christmas.

William Jeffery:

Apparently they got a job at the city sorting trash.

Marcus:

question let me let me go back to that. Because clearly a sword and trusting is not going over well, so why don't you got COVID While at the stadium and she's gonna like blame the stadium.

William Jeffery:

I mean, maybe not. She probably blamed play to hit her in the head with the balls. Like if my immune system hadn't been lowered by the head trauma that I never would have gotten COVID her she got three weeks off from work. She got fired,

Marcus:

no likes. The doctor said that she needs at least three weeks off from work to recuperate.

William Jeffery:

Oh, she might come for money. Her dad's probably a doctor. That's the only sort of medical professional that would prescribe three weeks of bed rest for being struck in the head with a ball full of air right.

Marcus:

But it was from an NBA player doesn't that hurts more? Right?

William Jeffery:

Sure. So two days, maybe she may have a concussion? Uh huh. That's 24 hours. You can't sleep

Marcus:

no, we're gonna play a disclaimer that no medical advice should be taken from other parts.

William Jeffery:

I've had plenty of concussions all they do is make sure you don't go to sleep for that first night and then no one cares.

Marcus:

Oh, actually that's facts. Yeah, now I've been punched in the head and got a concussion

William Jeffery:

no you don't get three weeks off of work for anything yeah no like paternal leave it Well, I think paternal leave is one month which is roughly four weeks should be longer so unless the ball impregnated her I don't think that three weeks is required. She had enough wherewithal to do a whole interview about the experience and I don't think I don't think that means you need to recall for it she had like very very light red marks around the side of her face. I mean, I don't know I think I'm pretty sure that the kids in a way so mighty might little league that I coached can do more damage than the ball did to her face. To one kid got pushed down in the mud and I thought all the parents were gonna have a whole royal rumble type fight. But at any rate, yeah, I don't three weeks off work that's something else either like it I guess and if if her parents are not the doctors than they are the owners of the company that she works for. That suggests that she take three weeks off work because they you know they have a vacation plan or something. They forgot that she forgot to take off. They're like, Oh, this is perfect. You got hit in the head ball on national television. Now we can fly to Cabo for three weeks and we don't have to reschedule. Give her three weeks off work. Tell her mental health hit her brain that that's mental. The ball hit right in her mental so it all makes Since it'll check out they're on here playing right now. Quarantine in the bathroom apparently

Marcus:

I don't know what to say.

William Jeffery:

And everybody's Yeah, I think we're getting dumber year by year is what it sounds like. Yeah, no people quarantined and bask in bathrooms soon basketball players for throwing basketballs at basketball games like this is the IQ is plummeting year over year toward your own trash. I mean, that's just I'm not gonna know. I'm going to continue to vote trash out the way that I do. I mean, like, we put the recyclables in the recycling game. That's what the blue cane is for the gardener's put the gardener stuff in the green one. Everything else goes in trash. If they want it sorted, then they need to hire more people to store it.

Marcus:

You know, things that shouldn't go in the trashcan in this new year.

William Jeffery:

Mugs okay. Yeah, I mean, actually, they should go in the trash can because we throw away the mug that you already have and you can buy a new one from the website. Get yourself a proper head above apocrypha. Discard of all the rubbish on your cupboard okay, you know get yourself a proper mug okay, I spent some time with family over the the holiday and I found out that I have got some some some some proper UK Enos in the family I was able to have a cup of tea with a proper Brit. So

Marcus:

I'm sorry you're flying to go see Brett's but I can't I have to buy two tickets to a Laker game.

William Jeffery:

I drove to San Diego Oh, and I'm pretty sure that the price of the rental is about the same price as floor seats escalator game so

Marcus:

I'm sorry when did I have to get floor seats

William Jeffery:

when you invited me I'm nearsighted you need to be able to see what's happening you don't make any hitting the handle the ball dangerous these games will be real close. So I know that if I need to duck or something

Marcus:

safety first Yeah, no, I appreciate it man. Thank you. We're trying

William Jeffery:

to you know, protect myself from head trauma clearly I don't know how to treat concussions so I'm trying to avoid them at all costs. My you know, I'll be staying up for 24 hours thinking I'm fine apparently brain bleed or something. And what I need to be doing is setting up a press run so I can talk about the head trauma and then get on the airplane in quarantine myself.

Marcus:

Not to interrupt your closing monologue but you play basketball so they get hit in the face like do you hit them back started on these floor seats alone out

William Jeffery:

she should have just threw the ball back that's what I would have done actually I would ask if I could get some shots up because I haven't had haven't had that opportunity as of late but you know she fumbled it and she she got up she had she had all the opportunity to make the best of that situation and she chose to take I don't even I don't even want to call it the higher road she made a wrong turn at Albuquerque her Bugs Bunny are in the hole somewhere trying to figure out why they're not at you know having floor seats enjoying refreshments at a basketball games. Why didn't you take the deal that well I wanted to say I was sorry. And then give me the tickets like well now we in this whole together so you know the moral of the story is don't be greedy and duck Be aware of your surroundings and don't be greedy and I guess sorts of trash because they're hiring and they're looking for good trash starters. So if you've got skills at sifting through garbage then the city is looking for you. They pay well but they will deduct pay if you know you put the wrong can in the wrong candy bars careful out there people to give tickets for throwing trash in the trash can. But they aren't given tickets for listening to the show. So you can keep doing that safely. And it's digital so doesn't create any waste you have to worry about you know using any cans. I would recommend that you listen to to get a quarantine in the bathroom on an airplane as well. Recommend not getting on the airplane when you're sick. Make me better life choices. Until next time
