Pod Is My Copilot
PiMC: Episode 116 - Who's Passive Aggressive Now?!?, or I Had A Graham Cracker Bottom Last Week....
We say goodbye to a member of the PiMC Family this week as Taylor helps a couple a significantly older podcaster or two move, Rodan watches gay porn at the gym (sorta), and Taffy shows the security guys at Tampa International how it's done (to her). And we talk about....sports?!? Really? All this and a gauntlet is thrown down...and by gauntlet, we mean oven mitt. And by oven mitt, we don't mean Taffy. We are podismycopilot.com

Hello, Taylor, Taffy and Rodan. This is a DQ Rick, the dairy fairy just calling, you know, I received the T-shirt this morning in the T.O. box and I love, love, love, love it. It's fabulous. My only thing is the little depiction of Taffy up there between Taylor and Rodan with the little halo is cute, but there's one thing missing. It should be this red devil horn holding the halo up. Anyway, I just wanted to call what you guys know that I got it. There is a photograph on your way to your inbox of me wearing the T-shirt. And thanks again. Love the show. Can't wait to hear the next episode. Ciao. Hey, everybody. This is Taylor with a latte boy and you just downloaded episode 116 of pot as my co-pilot. I am joined, as always, by Taffy Carlisle Huffington. Hello, you. And for most of the episode, we'll be joined by Rodan. Hello, minions. Okay, you're not giving a staff meeting a pet dog. So how are we today? We're good today. Good. The weather here was a very low-key day. You had a low-key day? Well, that's good. It's hard to share anymore. No, I was -- Taffy was starting to go into her day, so I was letting her. Sorry. No, I was just saying that the weather here or tonight at least was quasi-pleasant. Really? Well, we were at the beach, which is nothing we ever do, but we went for the beach for sunset. But it was actually like pleasant down there. I mean, not to the point where I appreciated the fact I live here, but it was pleasant enough that I appreciated it for this evening, how's that? Well, this is the time of year that sunsets, I think, are their prettiest, and it goes right from now up until, like, New Year's Eve, and then they go back into not being quite as pretty as they usually were. I don't know if it's something about the amount of humidity in the air or the fact that, you know, the seasons are quote-unquote "changing" or what, but it's -- there's something about it that this is always my favorite time of year to look at sunsets. Plus, it reminds me of when I moved down here, I moved down in August to come to college, and that first semester, I guess, that might have something to do with it for me. Yeah, I think a lot of those sunsets kind of imprinted in my brain back in those days. There was no clouds in the sky except for right exactly where the sun was setting. So everything was all streaky and orange, and it was very pretty, and of course it was very breezy, and we ate dinner out on the beach, I mean, like actually sitting on sand type eating dinner, and -- Oh, like we did with Babaloo and Tank that time? Yeah, yeah, we went out there, and the girls were miserable today. Today was their miserable day, not miserable towards one another or towards us, they were just the whole, you know, it was the, ugh, I have homework, and ugh, that's the first full week of school, and wah, wah, wah, my peepy hurts, so I decided, yeah, you people are not going to be miserable, and no, we're not going out to dinner, and no, we're going to go do something, so they -- and then they were much happier on the way home, because yeah, we went out. That is very cool. Yeah. You guys, like, piss a moan about, you know, Florida being miserable, and horrible, miserable, and miserable, and I think you guys forget that you're, like, in paradise. I forget that when I have bat wings on my inner thighs. You're only in paradise if this is your idea of paradise, if your idea of paradise is being surrounded by mountains and snow, then this is not so much. But I appreciate how other people view this as paradise, and I try to remind myself occasionally that it is a nice place to live. It's sometimes very hard. It's one of those things that I think, why the fuck do I live here? I hate it here, I hate it here, and then I see a palm tree, and I think there's a lot of places in the country that don't get to look at a palm tree year round. That's not in, you know, a bank lobby. Yeah, and you're ten minutes from the beach. One of the top ten beaches in the country. I'm one of the rare people who actually like the sounds of seagulls. I don't like them as, you know, what they do, but I like the sound of them to me is very beachy. You know, I like that little mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine. So I, that doesn't bother me. And of course you can't be around them when Ollie pops around because she freaks out, because she hates birds, so yeah. Well, you know, because I've gotten to visit Orlando a couple times over the last couple of months, there's a difference, right, in the air and the sense that you get. So coming to Florida, you automatically just, the sky's bigger, it's, you know, trees are shorter. I'm not really quite sure why, but trees are shorter, sky's bigger, but when you get down to like, same peat-tamp area, just the air smells different. Better or worse? Better. I mean, you can tell that it's, you know, it's salty, it's fresh, it's. Well, we have the benefit of the Gulf Breezes, whereas Orlando is stagnant. So that might be also be, yeah. No, I agree. Of course, Cassigan, Montana right now is going, suck on this, because I'm looking at my window at mountains and there's no cats. Yeah, exactly. She's got a different kind of paradise. We're just going to ring her doorbell one day and she's going to open up and be like, fuck, they're here. And she thinks she's going to enjoy it till about day eight. What are you doing home, fuckers? When Taffy wakes up to the brushing of the end of a shotgun against her forehead. So, all right, speaking of crime, can we just get over, can we just talk about the big thing and get it over with? Yeah. All right. Okay, those of you who check the blog or friends of the on Facebook, no, but I had a little bit of a sad week. This week, I lost Otis, one of my two pugs. I hadn't really commented about it before on the blog and the podcast and everything. He's been sick for a really long time with cancer and he just got progressively sicker and we decided this week it was time. Pretty much, there was a lot of editing with the last episode because in the middle of taping the last episode, he was getting sick and he was just having a lot of difficulty with going to the bathroom and all that sort of stuff. And he just pretty much told me Wednesday morning with the look that I had talked with Taffy about and talked with Babalu about and countless other people at work that when I get the look from him, then I'll know and Tuesday morning or sorry, Tuesday morning, I got the look. So I called the vet and was very fortunate to actually have a vet that does house calls. Oh, wow. Yeah, for that, for that particular procedure, procedure. Thank you. And got to spend the day with him. I called them around eight and they said they couldn't get out until about three and I knew he wasn't suffering. He just, it was time. So I obviously took the day off from work and Taffy spent a good chunk of the day with me and Babalu came home from lunch. And we just all kind of passed him around and just let him, you know, loved on him and, you know, later around with him, all that sort of stuff. And then drum came over, drum and, oh gosh, his boyfriend and I asked, you know, drum if he wanted to be there just because drum and I got him together. So I thought it was only fitting that he'd be a part of this. And the vet came out and did the whole hospice thing with me. The thing that I do with kids kept me, you know, distracted and asking me, you know, fun questions and all that sort of stuff. And it was very quick and that was, that was pretty much it. I will say that the most interesting thing about, not interesting, but peculiar, whatever word you want to use is right after he died, Rocco, my other pug, kind of jumped out of Babalu's arms and walked over to where Otis was laying on the couch and got nose to nose with him and just sort of was like, it was the weirdest thing I was sitting right next to him. It was just staring at him for like 20 or 30 seconds and then just walked away. Oh wow. So it was very much, that's my personal belief that he saw Otis go to heaven. Oh wow. So yeah, how many podcasts? But he's, he's not suffering anymore and he's, he's okay. And I like to think that he is in a big field that is made of McDonald's french fries chasing your idea of heaven. That was that was Otis's idea of heaven that he gets to, he gets to run through fields of french fries with big Fuji apple trees. So he just barks at the thunder and the thunder goes away and he gets a chase rabbits and he barks at the trees and the trees drop a Fuji apple and he gets to eat the Fuji apple because fiber is very important when you're eating McDonald's french fries. He's like me. I know this. And you know what? And you could tell, honestly, just from obviously, I do get to see you occasionally that in the days leading up to Tuesday, obviously they were emotionally trying on you and you could definitely tell a sense of, I'm not going to say happiness, but a sense of relief in you, relief. It was definitely a sense of relief in you afterwards. The fact that it was just, it was over. I'm not that you weren't glad that it was over, but it was just, it was done. And you definitely could tell that you were, there was a sense of relief to it. Yeah, no, I mean, I was a wreck numerous times over the days, you know, of course. And then I was fine and you and I were making jokes because Otis kind of had a habit of, for lack of a better term, raping Rocco while Rocco was trying to eat. So I pretty much said to Rocco at one point, while Taffy was sitting there, this is your last chance if you're going to do something to him, do it now. And, you know, just kind of trying to break the tension and, you know, then the doorbell rang and it was the vet and I, you know, burst into tears and was in tears the entire time she was here and then cried a little when she left and I was doing fine until drum sent me the, you know, pretty much the last picture of Otis that, you know, he took right before he, right before he passed and, you know, wasn't expecting that clicked on the email and just boom, I saw that I wasn't expecting it. And it's just been, it's just been crazy. It's just been crazy. I, the one I worry about most honestly is Rocco. Rocco's definitely a little lost right now. He sees following Baba Lu and I around and he's, you know, when we leave the house, the tale goes down and just breaks my heart, but he's, he's just, that's just what's going on. But I don't want to spend obviously all episode talking about this. I, you know, just wanted to kind of get it over with and get it out of the way. One thing that I do want to say, though, is I have received numerous emails, voicemails, text messages, all that sort of stuff from listeners and fellow podcasters. And I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for all of the support that you've given me. And Rachel, one of our listeners, actually made a donation and Otis's name to Bug Rescue of Tampa Bay. And that touched me more than you will ever die. I said I was not going to do this fuck touch me more than I will ever know. So thank you all very, very much. Take a deep breath. I know, I know it. It means, it means more to me than you'll ever know. Somebody tell a story about fucking or tricks or something like that. So I can't talk anymore right now. A story about fucking or tricks. We swore we weren't going to talk about the little suffington on this episode. Oh, I can't, I can. So Rodan, how is your week going? Not quite that eventful. You know, I was, I've been in town for the last two weeks. So that's good. Yeah. Was it nice after traveling all that time to be home? Yes. And you're not the kind of person that kind of the more you travel, the more you want to travel? No. At this point, no, this is I'm about to go out and bark on my last week of travel for I think the quarter. So I'm very excited that it's almost over with. Where are you going? East coast. So hopefully the remnants of tropical storm Danny won't be messing with the flight schedule, but you might get some cooler weather too. In my hometown today, the high was 67. Wow. So don't, don't, don't think for a second that didn't piss me off. But yeah, the high was 67 today. So you might get some nice coolness. I mean, some really, you know, of course they have another two weeks before their Indian summer kicks in, but you got, you might have, you might have some really, really nice weather. Hopefully. I mean, we'll see. I mean, I didn't even looked at the weather yet for where I'm going. I'm going to the middle of nowhere. That's really where I'm going. The middle of nowhere off on the East coast. Don't you live in the middle of nowhere? I do. I'm going from one point in the middle of nowhere to another point in the middle of nowhere. And we will see. Middle of nowhere like they don't have a extension on manhunt. Middle of nowhere or middle of nowhere like middle of nowhere as they barely have cable. No, they don't have a city classification in manhunt or Adam for Adam for where I'm going. Oh, dear, you are going to nowhere. They still think Wi-Fi is a question of how to cook chicken. So, yeah, because, yeah, so, no, that's, I'm going to 80 little towns. So we'll see how that goes next week. And no other dates. Nothing from the, um, the guy was supposed to, or the guy went on a date with last week. I was supposed to have another date, but he was, he's 22. And that just felt inappropriate to me. Wow. You think so? Considering four years ago, you know, he was legal. And you were 40. Yeah. Yeah, no, considering that, yeah, five years ago, he was still in high school. And yeah, okay, anyways. Kind of puts a new spin on it for you, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. So, and of course, apparently he just broke up with a 44 year old that he'd been dating for two years. So I, I guess there's someone out there in the town of Monroe that really likes them young. Apparently, that's kind of gross. That's really gross. I'm sorry, but I'm for the, I personally, I have no idea what a 37 year old and an 18 year old have in common except for fucking because, well, really, that's kind of all you need. It's on some level. And you know, I'm seeing a lot of guys all of a sudden who have, um, because you know, manhunt changed their, I guess you guys wouldn't know this manhunt upgraded their website recently. And they added a bunch of new things you can be into. And one of them is daddy son. And the number of guys who have that checked is insane. Are you talking about like Mambla or are you talking about? No, no, no, no, just like, you know, 40, 20 kind of thing. So it's guys with bad vision. Well, in some cases, like the guy you went out with last week, that would work to his benefit. Yes, that would have. But you know what? There's a lot of 40 year old men who like 20 year old girls. What's the difference? Well, yeah, and I was thinking about that on my way home. I was like, you know, somebody, well, because I passed two jogging on my way home, an older guy and a younger woman. They had on high school track outfits though. There's a difference. No, I mean, it was like the guy was older. You could tell they were a couple couple. Mm hmm. And you know, no one because they were pushing my my sister in a stroller. But no one thinks twice about older guys, younger women, except no, no, no, no, that's not true. There are still people who think twice about it. It's just more readily, I think, available than the whole daddy son type thing. Well, and we just, there just needs to be a better name for it out there. You know, call them panthers or something. I don't know. Just don't call them that he's, I just, it freaks me out, it freaks me out drama has a name. What is the name drum uses? It's not he's not on man hunt. No, no, no, no. When he's talking about cougars, he's a drum. No, he said he wasn't a cougar. He was something else. It was something from like Saturday Night Live, a cougar. I don't know. That sounds right. That was, that was on one of those episodes where they do a cougar. It's a cougar. I like Baldwin and he was a cougar. I think. A cougar. A puma. A puma. A puma. A puma. A puma sounds dirty. It does sound dirty. That works. Puma sounds like fupa. No, a puma sounds like fupa. It does. Maybe it's a puma with a fupa. I'm getting a visual image of a poop, a puma with a fupa. I have many pictures of a puma with a fupa. Oh, and she has a crimson mullet in many of them. Again with a John Goodman talk. No, no, no. It's been episodes since we've talked about John. That's true. It's been at least two or three. Exactly. Yeah. I have a, I have a dog snoring underneath me. Sorry, I don't know if you can hear there. Your date's still there. Exactly. Oh, you know. Sometimes they just won't leave. But enough of that sprout. Ooh, I do have a, well, did I already tell you guys that sprout, like sprout lost his car or he lost his house? He's like a country song. Someone stole the truck with a dog in the back. Yeah. And I feel guilty about it. Why? Not so guilty that I'm going to give money though. Well, that's, that's, that's, look at you growing right before our eyes. Yeah. That would involve me having to kill you. So that works. I know, right? Hey, so I have a weird random story about something that happened at the gym today. Okay. As I'm pulling up to the gym, there was like these three, like really expensive looking black, like Yukon's not quite so, you know, those smaller Suburbans. I wasn't sure where you were going with the show. I was like, okay, you know, we back to that story. Two Yukon's and this like big black Ford truck. I mean, they were just gorgeous trucks. I mean, you know, black, you know, and then like the carbon fiber rims and the, you know, completely dark tinted windows. And so they're like barreling down these little roads down on the way of the gym. And so they pass me in like a little group. And I get to the gym and they're just pulled in and they all three get out and they're all like 17 because apparently mommy and daddy have some money. Exactly. Okay. And so they're, they're doing the kind of the typical high school guys at the gym thing where they only do the bench press. So they can, they can know squat over one another. And you know, while they're sweaty. No, what the hell's the word spotting? Yes, of course. Yeah. And so there was a lot of that kind of shit happening. Well, at one point, so I'm like doing the shoulder raised thing or the shrugs. Is that what you're calling master baiting while on the treadmill? They were kind of cute. And so these three are Lord, I'm going to jail. They were hot. And I know they were 17. I know they were still in high school, but they were hot and not, I mean, just damn. And so at one point, there's this guy in the yellow shirt. There's like yellow shirt, blue shorts, white shirt, red shorts, and some little five, five, four guy who's kind of hanging up with them, like the little yippy, you know. And so one time he's like on the bench, like doing his little bench press. And the guy in the yellow shirt grabs the one in the white shirt and brings him close to him. I'm sitting here on doing the shoulder thing. And just all of a sudden, my jaw drops because it looks like he's like going in for like a hug. Just like from behind, you know, kind of from behind kind of thing. And so he starts like dancing. The guy in the yellow shirt starts dancing. And he was obviously mimicking what he was trying to get some girl to do last night at a bar or something like, you know, just sure, whatever at a party. It was obvious. That's what he was trying to mimic. But at some point, he's like grinding the guy in the red shorts. I mean, this is going on for like 30 seconds. And all of a sudden, the guy like mid push on the bench press is all of a sudden like that, like a holler monkey. Just like he realized what was going on. And just like, and luckily, there's like only two other people on the whole workout floor besides these three guys like me and some other guy, some old guy who was listening is, you know, intently to his. He didn't know where he was. Exactly. So all of a sudden, you know, the little one's freaking out. The guy in the other shirt grabs like, like brings the other one in for a tight hug and then gives like one more thrust and then like, let's him go. It was fucking weird. It was like some initiation right or something. So were you able to finish your workout with a load in your pants? Barely. At some point, you know, at some point, I realized I'm staring at them. My mouth is completely open and you're licking your lips. A little bit of roll running down the side of your gray t-shirt. I was wearing a gray t-shirt today, but it was just weird. And so it was the night before some guys told me about how like a lot of these country guys when they're in high school and college and stuff, they go out and hunt hunting as I'm doing air quotes where there's no hunting to be had, except for dick. Exactly. It's like, oh man, wish I could have grown up here. I got my first blue ribbon at the 18th annual cock hunt tournament. Yes, that was my fun at the gym. It gave me a little joy and a little wood. Sequoia. Sequoia. Well, I engaged in vehicular sex Saturday night. Did you? It's true. Actually, that's not true. I engaged in vehicular sex on a Friday night. And then I engaged in quasi-vehicular sex on Saturday night. So you were just against the car, not in the car? Yes! At the airport. At the airport. Oh my goodness. Level six, parking garage. Taffy. I know. I think I've had sex on level six in the parking garage. Oh god. In a car, not against a car though. Yes. No. This was just one of those, you know, heavy petting to use a phrase for my grandmother, but um. One should never use phrases from their grandmother when describing vehicular sex. Surrounded by cars that bore my daughter's school's name on their stickers of their, you know, bumpers. It was fabulous. My child was student of the month at. Right, exactly. Yes. No. Anyway. My best friend's mom got fucked in this parking lot. Thank you. We should sell shirts next time. No, I was supposed to meet Tank for a date on Friday night. And I ended up, we ended up, we couldn't decide what we wanted to do. And you know, so he's like, just meet me in the Starbucks parking lot. So we ended up meeting a Starbucks that was on US 19, like going north. Yeah. We never made it out of the parking lot. Still daylight. It was ridiculous. Damn, girl. What do you get? You're gonna get arrested someday. That's, that's, we, I know. And it's what's bad because we've actually, we're like, you know, we have to behave. And I know it's, it's ridiculous. It's gonna be, it's gonna be the kind of thing where Lollipop's going to get caught in there. You know, we're going to get the call at, you know, 1130 where she's, you know, screwing around in a car or something. God, the god willing, not really. But when, when it comes to point where, what do you say? I mean, yes, we are married. So I guess there is an element of that. But yeah, yeah, I know. I've thought about it before. I think, oh, shit. Or better yet, they're going to call Lollipop to come and get us out of jail. And she's just going to stand there shaking her head going, really, really. Yeah. At this point, that's probably the most likely scenario. I'm telling you now, if you call me to post bail for you, it's going to be a video podcast. I'm bringing Lollipop and the little is Huffington. Oh, no, I, I, I will be alert for them. Now, watch mommy as she takes her fingerprints. Right. Right. No, I, I've already, you know, it's funny because we jokingly talk about, you know, the fact that we have bail money stash in the house, is everybody to come and get us. Yeah, that's going to, that's going to be bad. But so that's, that was my, my exciting weekend. I had to go to the airport to welcome the football team home because they were in San Antonio. Yes. And, um, since I have cheerleaders and there was about 100 people there to welcome them all back. They could have cared the fuck less. It was one of those things where we've been traveling for 12 hours. We don't care. There's people standing here planning for us, even though all of us have been standing there for an hour waiting for them to get off the plane. Yeah, I was, I was over it by the time we actually ended up leaving. So it was a good thing that Tank and I kind of said, "Okay, you guys hang out here and talk to me." Actually, I think Tank was over it repeatedly. It was over it, under it, off to the side. Thank God for Skirts. Can I just really point that out? And there's the title forever. Taylor, you should try that sometime. Wearing a skirt in the parking lot. I think that, I absolutely believe that's why certain men wear kilts and they're not really Scottish. Yeah, easy access. Let's get real. Oh, there you go. Well, hey, think about it. It's brilliant. It's genius. So guess where I was yesterday. I already know where you were. Where were you? I was at the Casa Cucast. I was at both Casa Cucast. Oh, that's what you're helping the new house. Nice. How'd that go? It went very well. It went very, very well. The new house is gorgeous. The new house is absolutely wonderful. And they have a pool. So we got to go swimming. And we all had a lot of fun, a lot of laughs. A good time was head by all. Was there an orgy? Yes, exactly. In the pool, that was it. With the ducks watching, because they have ducks that walk right up from the lake. So we had an audience. It was very hot. Nice. In fact, at one point, Kevin B. May have made me quack. Oh, that sounds dirty. That's the point. It was a joke. That's what I meant. Sounds lovely. Michael and I sang the one day at a time theme song on the way to the new house. Which was very funny. No, what is their last official night in the old house? Tonight is the last official night. And then the movers are coming tomorrow and taking all the furniture we got. With the exception of clothes, we got everything that was left, including the books. Which was so much fun to carry all the books and the comic books. Oh, I bet. Yeah, that was not fun. But it was fun and that we got to help them. Especially because those of you who listened to Cucast used to listen to Kevin and Michael rant about the sports utility vehicle. Well, suddenly, when they're moving, it's useful. Guess who needs a sports utility vehicle? And don't think I didn't give them grief about that within the first 30 seconds of walking in the door. But they were, they were, they were wonderful. And I always enjoy spending time with them. And they're going to be very close to Disney World, which is very convenient for, you know, that way we can see them and and all that sort of stuff. So I did, I did see in the picture that he posted on Facebook a while ago of the flying pig chandelier, which I absolutely loved. It's very cool. They don't have it hanging up yet, but he did. No, it is hanging. It's hanging officially. I think that's the picture he put on Facebook. Oh, okay. Then he must have, he must have just did that because that was, that was still in the box yesterday. But he pulled it out of the box and I'm like, Oh, my God, that's awesome. Yeah, that's very cute. So it was, it was, it was a lot of fun. And I did at one point say, so are you, you guys are not coming back? The, the show was done and to which Michael responded, probably not to which to me is a glimmer of hope. Give them two weeks when they get everything set up. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure once the, once they get settled and the stress of moving and they get kind of in their new rhythm, I don't know. It sounds like they both have a lot going on that they're going to be, they're going to be very busy and look good for them though. That's awesome. No, I think, I think that's great. I think that's absolutely great. So we did, we did have one extra little bit of excitement happen that I sent you a text about why you were up at Kevin and Michael's yesterday. Lollipop got her very first college acceptance letter. Aww. Yes, she did. Isn't it early for that? Isn't she like a freshman now? No, she's a senior. She's in the third grade. They're very aggressive. We're very aggressive. You know, us private school parents, that's right. No, she got her first acceptance letter and we were quite excited to a school that she, it's one of her, I don't really care if I get into that school, which of course, those are the ones you're going to get into first. It always seems like that happens, but it's out of state, it's in Tennessee and she was, she was quite, she was happy, I think, just the idea of, it was one of those things of, well, you know, at least I know I could go somewhere outside of idea. Yeah, that's always helpful. Yeah, so she was, she was very happy and, you know, we were very proud of her obviously. I called to wish her congratulations today. You did. That was very sweet of you. Yeah. Which of course means it's one step closer to the fact that she's actually going to be moving out of my house, which is not good, but that's right. Yeah, talk about crying during a podcast. Let's, let's see next September. Oh, no, no, no, that's, that's going to be, he already knows he has to move in here. He already knows that that's, that's the deal. Him and Tank are going to do the morning Ralph. Morning Fred. They're just going to swap, they're just going to switch. Is that some new sexual thing that I don't know about? Oh God, willing. The morning Ralph, morning Ted. Morning Ralph, morning Ted. I had my very first sex dream that involved Taylor the other day. Oh God, I can't even stand, but he wasn't, he and I were not doing anything because that would have involved me killing myself, but I did. I had my first official sex dream involving involving Taylor and he wasn't having sex with me, but he was blowing Tank. God willing. I know it. Let's make that dream a reality. It was very intriguing actually. The other thing is when I woke up for it, woke up, I thought, I kind of give a little shutter, a little cold, chill, and that was fine. And then I said back for a minute and thought about it. And I was like, I could totally make that happen. I was like, oh God, how can I totally make this happen? This is awesome. This is a great idea. So yeah, that was, you'll have a feisty Cuban on your hands if that's the case. Well, as long as Bob Lue gets to watch, right? Let's say somebody needs to hold the tripod, get real. Yeah. A feisty Cuban. We decided that if yesterday, I forget how we got talking, I guess because we were on our way to Orlando, that if you and I are supposedly Karen and Jack, when you hang out with Bob Lue, that makes you Karen and Rosario. Holy cow, that's wrong. Right down to the for members only jacket. I still have there. You see where I bought her. My favorite line. Yes, that's good. Well, and Bob Lue is a bit of a kleptomaniac, so. Yes, he is. What has he taken from my house? I forget. Wasn't there this whole, there's this whole conversation we had about? He stole a camera from my house once and I could have it on his steel. Okay, let's, I have to live with him. He didn't steal the camera. It accidentally left. It actually left. It actually jumped into Bob Lue's pocket. Exactly. Now I'm going to get the really, really, what the ipods on one night is going to spin around and look at me. I'm going to know exactly which part of the leadership he's listening to. Oh, yeah. So it's all good as long as he keeps fucking you, right? Okay, which apparently he did an hour ago. So there you go. Okay, we thank you. Thank you for that. That's welcome. Okay, so can going from sections of my boyfriend to family issues. So can I give an update on something that's been brewing for a couple of weeks about my family? Shoot. So I kind of talked briefly about it. It was sort of one of those unfinished stories on, I think, the latest episode of the show, why I was talking about my dad. My dad is very much a staunch Ronald Reagan was a god, Republican from way back and which is whatever. That's fine. That's what that's your thing. So, and he is very much of the constantly sending forwards in via email. And I did the whole thing of where I said, you know, please stop, don't send these to me anymore, all that sort of stuff. And he would constantly just said, well, just delete them if you don't want them. To which I'm kind of like, okay, but I'm asking you to stop sending them to me. But I would just delete them for the longest time. And then a couple of weeks ago, I came home from a long day over in over in Orlando, actually with Taffy and checked my email. And when I checked my email, there was a email that was a bunch of my family responded to that my dad had sent that was a forward. And in the email, in the forward, there was something in it about marriage should only be between a man and a woman and homosexuality is wrong and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, to say I was offended would be an understatement, as was my uncle, who's also gay. So, I wrote my dad pretty much this long email saying, look, you know, I don't walk into your house and say shit about the last eight years. You know, you pretty much sending me these emails when I've asked you not to. It's disrespectful to me. I don't want it anymore and knock it off. To which my dad wrote back an apology and pretty much said, I didn't even read the email the whole way through before I sent it to everybody. Okay. Well, then that makes sense that you're sending this to everyone, not knowing what it says, but whatever. And he said, you know, but I apologize and that's, you know, it won't happen again. So, I'm like, okay. So, cut to today, I've kind of had a lousy morning. Bobaloo and I went to go to the place that we like to go for brunch. It's, we pull up to find out that it's closed. And we, you know, closed for good. And we did a bunch of shopping and shopping was a nightmare because I had to go to Walmart and you all know how much I love going to Walmart and all that sort of stuff. I get home and there is a forward from my father that starts with, I know I promise some of you I wouldn't send this. I wouldn't send you forwards anymore, but this is very important. Oh God. Okay. So, he's aware. It's not one of these where I accidentally got in mixed in something. He's purposely sending something that says this. So, I called AppleCare and said, I need to know how to block somebody. Oh. So, AppleCare to walk to me through how to, it's not necessarily blocking through somebody through Macmill, but any time email comes from that email address, it automatically goes into the trash can. Like, it doesn't even come up on my, on my inbox. Kind of like the Sex and the City thing. What? In the Sex and the City movie, how, you know, what's her name? Oh, yeah, where she put all the emails. Over. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, my, my dad, my father's blocked. I'm not sure how to handle this with him. Now, will he know that he's blocked? Okay. Well, that, that's, that's my point is, do I a call him and tell him I blocked your email? B, send him an email that says, I blocked your emails. You're not going to be able to respond as if you need to get a hold of me. Call me. C, send a, send an email to him with reply all to all of the people that he has sent the email to pretty much saying, let's ask you repeatedly not to send this to me. D, let him just keep sending me things and ignorance as bliss. And then I just don't have to deal with it. I'm kind of going with the last option there, because if it's important, he'll end up just calling you. Then he'll ask you, if you got my email, you can tell him no. I, I, I ought to file them. They're gone. I think if you, I think if you've already went to the point of telling him, I don't appreciate you sending me these. So he is aware of it and he is content. Was it, was it something that was very, you know, GOP oriented? Yeah, it's one of these things. It's, it was a YouTube video of something with some guy dressed up like a, you know, like an American Revolutionary guy. And he's talking about, you know, the biggest spending in the, this country's history and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I would send him an email that says, per my request of you not sending me this anything, which you have clearly not taken into account, thanks to the last thing you sent me as of, you know, August 30th, 2009. I'm officially blocking your email. So I don't have to put up with this. If you'd like to get a hold with me, please feel free to call. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Bye. And just have it done. I, I wouldn't, you know, I wouldn't hide behind the blocked email. I would just say, I'm not taking these emails anymore. And you've done this. I ask you not to. You said you wouldn't. You did it. So guess what? Now you don't get to send me shit. Yeah. I mean, it comes down to a matter of respect. And you've asked him nicely. He said he wouldn't do it. But wait, hold on. There's one more I want to do. And it's just like, it's, it's just like when you're sitting at my house, and I say, let me show you a picture and you say, okay, but I'm gonna look for a minute. And then I go into this tangent, I'm showing you 500 pictures and you go, okay, I'm done. And you get up and leave. It's the same thing. Tell him, okay, I'm done. And I'm getting up and leaving. Yeah. I'm, I'm officially blocking you. I'm not gonna, I'm not hiding behind the fact that I've blocked you. I'm telling you, I'm blocking you. And you want to know why? Because you didn't respect me enough to listen when I said, don't send me the shit. Yeah. Or I would just, or I would just start sending him every, you know what, tit for tat. Every time he sends you crap, send him something about, you know, making sure that, you know, gay marriage is legal or sending him something about that. I would just can inundate his mailbox with crap like that. I realize it's very passive aggressive. But what you're doing currently isn't working. Right. I was gonna say you've given kind of the two extremes. Well, that's how I live my life, unfortunately. You haven't met her, haven't you? Yeah, there's, there's not a lot of gray area. It's either this or this. So, but he's tried the first one, and it didn't work. You know, he asked him nicely. I mean, just kind of knowing, or not knowing, but kind of knowing of your father, just, you know, letting the emails get deleted and never say anything about it's probably the healthiest way of handling it. Actually, it's not the healthiest way. No, I realize that. I just, I mean, there's something to be said about ignorance is bliss because that's how I pretty much lived the first 19 years of my life. But it's also where that's not necessarily I want him to know that this is this sucks. It's just a question of to what degree do I do it? If it's where I, if I do the email, I mean, there is something passive aggressive to be said best in the email because I'll send this email this, and I'm hiding behind this fence that you can't get to because if he tries responding via email, I'm not going to say it. So then, but if you call him is the, is the conversation going to end in a screaming match? Or are you? No, the conversation has been end in what every time I've sent him the please send me is I'm trying to educate you on the problems with this family. And I'm scared for you and your sisters. And this is what's going to happen. And it's socialist government. And you know, we have a Muslim and shut up. I don't care. Yeah. Oh, that's, that's my step grandfather. That's, yeah, because, you know, he's a Muslim and he's going to take over and that's how they're going to take over because, you know, they're all going to have all of these children. That's the plan is he and all the other Muslims are all going to have tons of babies. That that's, that's what I deal with when I go home. I haven't said that. I say that on the inside of my brain and then I get up and I check, you know, Facebook and I go on my father's computer and I, you know, add gay porn links to his favorite places. Please tell me that. No, but you know what? I'm going home in December. That's a great idea. I think my father's home page because my father has no idea how to change his home page should be Hillary Rodham Clinton's personal webpage. I think that's brilliant. I know you should put your dad on her wet on her emailing list email thing because she is oh my god. I mean, she will inundate you. She does always for money. Yeah. Constantly. That's actually a great idea. Who's passive aggressive now? The other titled episode 116. Well, thank you all very much for that. And I know that I had posted the letter that I wrote my father on pot as my gopilot.com a couple of weeks ago and then haven't really followed up with it. I thought that it was resolved. You know, my father and I talked about it briefly on the phone and then he came down and asked me for a dead mouse and then everything was fine. And now he's sending me whatever. God, I love family. Family hurrah. Family hurrah. So what else is going on with you guys? Yeah, it's the first week of school. I'm over it already. And next, you know, I had meetings all week last week and this week it's thank God that you're taking the girl someplace fun on Wednesday because they're going to need it because it's practice Monday practice Tuesday game Thursday game Friday practice Saturday. So I'm glad that you're doing something fun with them. We're going to the raised game. It's cool to do. I bought a new raised shirt today that I'm very excited about wearing. Babaloo can wear my old one. Does it have a name on the back? So no, this one, it's actually it's like a baseball shirt, which I know in the past that's not been pretty on me, but this one actually looks pretty good. So good. So it's it's not it doesn't it's sort of like a t-shirt, but it has the sleeves like the baseball like the way they kind of come diagonally versus across. Yeah. And there's a patch on the front that has the TB symbol, tuberculosis. Yay. But so I'm looking forward to that. And we're going to be sitting in the beach section of Tropicana field, which is the benches versus the chairs that way I can don't have to wedge my fat ass into one of those little tiny seeds. You know, no, you guys sit down. I'm just going to walk around. But so it should be fun. I'm looking forward to it. And Lollipop had never been to a raised game up until recently. Didn't she just go to one? She went to her first raised game last weekend. Yeah, which kind of sounds because I was looking forward to taking her to her first game. But I know, I know. But she's very, very excited. Are you kidding me? They were talking about that today. They're very excited. And they're playing Boston. And I know she hates Boston. She hates Boston. Yeah. So that made it even better. Yeah, she's a she's a big she's a big baseball junkie. You're going to want to kill her because she knows every stat about every single baseball player. And you'll want to punch her in the face. Well, good. She'll be the but just one out of the four of us. There's no question in this environment. She will absolutely. But she's good. But I would put her by Babaloo. I would just I would just set her conveniently by Babaloo. And then she'll just sit and she'll just and you know, he has 361, you know, RBI. I have no idea what any of that means. And she'll sit and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. In fact, I thought that the bullpen was called the pulpit. She was referring to them. We were that we were a Threshers game one night. And she was like, you know, and this one's in the bullpen. And she kept saying bullpen, but she kept saying it fast. And I'm like, are you saying pulpit? And she's like, what? And I'm like, what are you saying? And she's like, the bullpen. I'm like, I don't understand. And so she's like, trying to explain this to me. And I'm going, this is stupid. They're cute boys and type hands. That's all I really and they hold their hand. And that can make all ball jokes. So you know, or bat. I love the way he holds his bat. He has a hold his bat with two hands. See, this makes me happy. You know, there was something to and I are giggling about those things where she's just like, stop talking because I want to tell you all about statistics. And I don't give a shit. I actually enjoy baseball. I of all the sports, I think baseball is is the most fun of the games that I go to. I football, I've gotten to where I can watch football. I haven't really been able to watch football since I think the last year Rodan lived in Saint Pete. Yeah, we had a good time watching football. I loved watching football with you. It was a lot of fun. We both had. I still wear my Michael Stutchers every once in a while. It's not pretty on me, but I still wear it. It's more like a tube top now than a jersey, but. I know. That's why I feel it's mine. It's like, this is like as big as they come. And if it's me like a regular t-shirt, it's like, okay. But we were. I'm bigger than linebackers. Yay. So we were, you and I were butchy McButcherson's over there. I'll just, you know, scream and yell at the TV and jump it up and down and high five on the other. And then we got to go to that game that one time. That was a lot of fun. And then my appendix burst. Yeah. That was the best day ever. It was a great time actually. I have not watched football like that since then either. So not when I moved to South Florida because the dolphins kind of sucked back then too. I don't know. I can't watch football on TV, but that's because I watch high school football games every weekend. I tell you what game I actually like to watch live. And that's basketball. And no, and no, no, no. The only, no, hold on. Let me preface this by saying live. I like to sit right beside the court. It's very, very fast. There's not a lot of downtime. The rules are very simple. This is traveling. This is double dribbling. You know, it's very, there's, you know, football because it's such a wide expansive field. You know, you can sometimes there's flags on the play and it takes forever. It makes me want to kill myself. Basketball is very quick-paced. And for someone who has the attention span of a gnat, it works well for me. You know, baseball, I wanted to kill myself. I literally sat down at my first baseball game over the summer, and I'm thinking to myself, okay, you know, nine innings. This will be over in what? Hour, hour, 15 minutes? Oh, God. Three and a half hours later. And it's, you know, top of the seventh. And I'm going, are you fucking kidding me? I literally looked at tank and I went, how long do these games? Well, I mean, it was so, I wanted to kill myself. So basketball, you're in, you're out. It's an hour. You're done. Yeah, it's perfect. That's why I like hockey. I like watching hockey even though that I don't really understand. I just know that people are skating back and forth and hitting the puck. And blood bounces on ice. Exactly. But baseball, oh my God. Just because everyone's so good, it's just like, okay, come on. I will say the fun thing about baseball was the fact that there was a lot of stuff going on in between the game, you know, where they would always play a little exciting music and they had trivia and they had, you know, little games here and there and you could walk around the stadium and every, there was everything was, you know, very shiny and bright. And I used to go to baseball games when I was little, Cincinnati Reds down at Riverfront Stadium, the old Riverfront Stadium. And I love doing that. But I never said, watch the game. I walked around and I, you know, ate a hotdog. You know, once it juices it, by the time you did a full lap, by the time you did a full lap around Riverfront, you know, it was, you've wasted two innings. It was great. So I never actually had to sit and watch a whole game, put a gun in my mouth. Oh my God. So you got growing, growing up, we always used to, I had to live in Durham, North Carolina. And so we would go to Durham Bulls games like every time we went up there to visit. And that was a lot of fun. But that was a lot faster pace to than like a major league. Yeah, major league. I said NBA is like, NBA. I don't think we're talking about basketball. That's why. Well, I will say that when some of my favorite memories is being a kid, actually with my dad, ironically, we're going to see the Phillies play at Veteran Stadium. And when they tore down Veteran Stadium, they showed on ESPN and I sat, I cried. I watched it on TV. It was just so sad to me that they, you know, they got rid of something that was part of my childhood. And then they put they put up the new field in Philadelphia. That's gorgeous. I went and saw Phillies game there a couple of years ago with a drum when we went up to visit and had a great time. But it's still, it's not, it's not the same. That was me when they torn Riverfront down and built the new one. I, I went back and it was again, it was beautiful. And it was, it just wasn't the same. Yeah, but because I went back to Ohio and my city was gone. Thank you, Chrissy. Hi. Well, look at us talking about sports. 15 minutes. We've talked about sports. I'm so impressed. Talked about sports and Republicans and dead dogs and traveling and all sorts of stuff. We are so well versed. Now we should, we should talk about, you know, Frederick Nietzsche and you know, what else? I think that's just completely off, off kilter. Okay. I mean, we're not going to talk about rim and asses and snack interiors. Dirty snack interiors. Thank you very much. I was assuming you'd mopped up. Oh, oh. Oh, God. Okay. On that note. People aren't saying, oh, AIDS walk, shit. Um, okay. Nice, nice. Let's talk about AIDS. Yeah. Let's talk about AIDS, baby. Let's talk about you and me. Okay. Uh, we are going to be walking in AIDS walk, AIDS walk, Saint Pete and Taffy and Babaloo. And I believe at least one of the Huffington children, the little list. Right. And there is, it's not on right now, but it will be by the time this part comes out. There is a, a link on the page, pod is my co-pilot.com, where you, if you would be so kind as to give a donation to AIDS walk, you are able to, we'll have a team page set up and you could just make a donation in our name. If you want to leave us a message on there, that's great. I have a personal page as well that, um, for, for, because I'm doing this also through work, but we're going to have one that's specifically set up for the pod is my co-pilot team. And, uh, and if you all would like to donate, we would be more than happy to, um, to accept your donations. To take your money. Yes. Well, we will, we will gladly take your money and, and it's for a great cause. I personally walked for the organization. I personally walked Jesus Christ. I personally worked for the organization that this money goes towards, towards helping where people living with HIV and AIDS. And it's a wonderful organization. And, um, it's, it's, it's any, any little bit that you all can, can offer helps. So thank you all very much. Yes. That's it. The most having since still, no, she still wears her t-shirt. In fact, she had it on today. And I think it's very funny that she's walking around, you know, with a Georgie's alibi shirt on. I just, there's something so inherently right about that. I can't even tell you why. It's your daughter, dry queen. Yes. Yes. Yes. That's your future you're looking at. Your daughter walking around and Georgie's alibi shirt. God willing. And now we've talked about gay teens. Okay. Uh, uh, anybody else got anything else they want to talk about? I don't think so. Okay. Well, we will see. Well, I was going to ask you about your cupcakes, but that'll have to wait. Oh, okay. Do you want to know what happened with the cupcakes? Yes. I will tell you what happened with the cupcakes. Pretty much I was going to make because I posted on the blog that I was going to make cupcakes. And I saw a chat about last week that I was bringing cupcakes, Kevin, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I've had a week of ups and downs. Let me tell you. And Friday night, I decided before we were going to go to Kevin and Michael's, because we had to be there at like between nine 30 and 10. So we had to be, you know, be up by seven to be out the door by eight that I was going to make cupcakes. I wasn't just going to make regular cupcakes. I didn't make Martha Stewart cupcakes and I had to make raspberry swirl cheesecake cupcakes. So I go and I buy all the ingredients and I. That sounds complicated. Well, it's my story. Of course, it's complicated. But I decided, hey, I can do anything with cupcakes. Now, what could possibly go wrong? So I make all of the ingredients. I puree the raspberries. I crush up all the graham crackers and make the graham cracker bottoms. I get, you know, the two, the two pounds of cream cheese and the graham cracker bottom last week. Sorry. Within the last minute of the show, you get another title. Very good. I'm impressed. So anyway, what was I going to say? I lost my chain of thought. Oh, so I get everything and I start putting everything together and I read through the book. And I realized that I need to put the cupcake tins into a roasting pan with water for a hot bath. And I start looking around my house and I have roasting pans, but the roasting pans are not big enough for the cupcake tins. Cut to three minutes later when I throw the roasting pan across the room. And all I say to Babaloo is just get away from me. Don't talk to me. I just need to be by myself. So why don't you just get a foil roasting pan? Because it was 9.30 at night at that point. And apparently, you know, all of Florida shuts down at 9.30 on a Friday night. I was not going to go to like a Walmart or something, 9.30 that come back and then finish the cupcakes. So I just had, I had a bad night and Babaloo left me alone. But then we had fun with Kevin and Michael the next day. That was fine. But I felt horrible because I thought they were expecting the cupcakes and, and you know, I apologize to Kevin and Kevin's like, oh, please, I don't give a shit. So Kevin knew better. Kevin was witness to the first Mac a cheese incident. So now Babaloo has what he was referring to as the cupcake incident. So Babaloo and Kevin were having giggles at my expense, you know, which is nothing new, but it was particularly, it was, it was kind of funny. So whatever, I will make the cupcakes and I still, I still hold the title, you know, I just, I just stumbled a little, but I am still the new guy. I don't understand how you could be the cupcake queen when you've made two batches. I've made three batches to my 4,000 get real. Okay, every time I watch you make cupcakes out of a box. Oh, did there, I, there's no question. No question. I made them out of box. That was fighting words. I put my, we're gonna have a throw down on the show tonight. You and I need to have a cupcake off. I put my, I put my cupcakes up against his cupcakes any day of the week. Okay, but that would turn you on. Ew, a little bit. Okay, so are we, so challenge extended a cupcake on? Who's gonna be the judge? I mean, okay, we will have an independent, okay, well, we can have Babaloo and Tank. Right, because I think that counts because they're both your spouse. Okay, but okay, here's what we'll do. We'll do, we'll blindfold them. No, no, no, hold on, hold on. This is brilliant. We'll each make a whole big chocolate. We'll each make two different types of cupcakes. And we will have Babaloo and Tank. We'll, we'll leave the house for, you know, a while. Okay, let's give us time to bake. And then we bring the cupcakes over to a, to a, a, you know, a neutral location. But we haven't, they have to figure out which cupcakes are the best ones. All right, well, hold on a second. I, I agree with all this and a blind taste test. I agree, but we have to agree A, that we will make them from scratch and B, that we're making the same flavors because you can't have somebody make, you know, a mandarin orange souffle and one making chocolate. They have to be, you know, either we both make a chocolate and we both make a vanilla or something along those lines. Okay, so, all right, so we'll do, well, okay, we will, we will figure this out. We'll do a, we'll do like a fruit based one or like, you know, a chocolate based one and something else. So we'll do three that way that way, the best out of three wins. All right, not a problem. Challenge extended. Challenge accepted. There you go. There you go. I will do a video podcast for everybody. People turned this off five minutes ago. All right, you're over your time limit. All right. So, all right, as always, you can go to our blog, which is potismycopilot.com. You can email us at potismycopilot@gmail.com. Call us at 206-202-5165. Be our friends on Facebook at our Facebook group. Okay, so I love potismy copilot. Excellent. So we will be back next week with episode 117. Guys, have a good week.
