Speaker 1: Welcome back to this week's episode of Are You Their Dad?
Speaker 1: It's me Yoko. Now let's get right into it. This
Speaker 1: week's first segment of They Should Have Known is going
Speaker 1: to be on an amazing topic. Okay, it's about the
Speaker 1: burning of the Library of Alexandria by Missus Julius Caesar
Speaker 1: Salad in forty eight PC. So I did some research
Speaker 1: on this, Okay, I did some educational findings because this
Speaker 1: is an educational podcast. And in this segment again we
Speaker 1: talk about how, you know, I would have handled things
Speaker 1: a little bit differently because you know, I think advice
Speaker 1: is important. So the Library of Alexandria, it was like
Speaker 1: a big, big library, bigger than the Ostiola County Library
Speaker 1: that my dad and I used to go to when
Speaker 1: I was little. Even it's huge, and mister Orange Julius
Speaker 1: got all mad and he burned into the ground and
Speaker 1: we lost like a lot of history and knowledge as
Speaker 1: a collective society from this. So that's like sad w boo.
Speaker 1: So now here's what I was done. It's like, have
Speaker 1: you ever heard of eye clown? Just uploaded? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Just like keep uploading and then if
Speaker 1: something burns, then it's not lost, and you can keep
Speaker 1: reading it and cherishing those memories, like when you finally
Speaker 1: learned how to read and you read one Fish, two Fish, Redfish,
Speaker 1: Bluefish to your dad, but then you turn around and
Speaker 1: then then you see him talking to the librarian, Miss Peterson,
Speaker 1: and then you have to stay at the library for
Speaker 1: two hours after it closes because your dad is still
Speaker 1: flirting with Miss Peterson. And then you try to help
Speaker 1: restock all the books and your dad tries to help
Speaker 1: two but then he gets them all wrong because he
Speaker 1: doesn't know the Dewey decimal system, so then she has
Speaker 1: to help him, and then they disappear into the stacks
Speaker 1: for like thirty five minutes, and then you don't know
Speaker 1: where they are, so you get lost in the library.
Speaker 1: And then you meet this old man who's lived there
Speaker 1: for sixteen years and he only comes out at night
Speaker 1: to steal snacks, and then the staff break room is
Speaker 1: where he goes and he lives. And then Miss Peterson
Speaker 1: and your dads show up. They don't believe you, and
Speaker 1: they gaslight you into thinking that this guy doesn't exist
Speaker 1: Steven though he's there, and then you get in trouble
Speaker 1: even though they were doing it in the back. It's
Speaker 1: like that. So that's like the library that got burned.
Speaker 1: So anyway, always upload. Uh So, now we're at our
Speaker 1: next segment and you guessed it. We're back with another
Speaker 1: you should have known, and you're in for a treat.
Speaker 1: This week, we're going to be joined by the head
Speaker 1: of Greek Art and Mythology at the met and professor
Speaker 1: at Columbia University, Professor Aisha Martinez. Welcome, professor. Oh, good afternoon.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for having me. Wow, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Speaker 1: And where I'm really excited because I love Greek stuff,
Speaker 1: I love Greek life, I love Greek salads, and I
Speaker 1: just think it's going to be a great time getting
Speaker 1: to teach you a thing or two about what I
Speaker 1: know too. Oh oh, that's fine. I normally don't get
Speaker 1: I don't normally get taught these things. I'm I'm quite
Speaker 1: the professional, and I enjoy teaching as much as I
Speaker 1: can to those who are enthusiasts of the Greek knowledge. Okay, fine, fun, fun, Okay,
Speaker 1: So um, before we get started, I just have to
Speaker 1: know Hercules. He's he's real, right, If you want them
Speaker 1: to be. Okay, so I have a question, what is
Speaker 1: he using steroids? Because I have a buddy who looks
Speaker 1: just like Hercules does pre lip fillers, and I'm trying
Speaker 1: to figure ou if he's using them or not. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, are you using them? And he won't
Speaker 1: tell me the truth. Oh well, well, you know that
Speaker 1: Greek mythology is not real. It's it's what. Oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to confuse you again. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: You know I thought you would know this as someone
Speaker 1: who loves Greek. No, this is Olivia. Where do we
Speaker 1: keep finding these people that don't know what they're Excuse me,
Speaker 1: excuse me nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. You're acting like a
Speaker 1: child to just found out that Santa Claus isn't real.
Speaker 1: It's you didn't know Santa Claus isn't real. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: definitely knew that. It's kind of hard for me to
Speaker 1: believe that. I definitely knew that Tim Allen was just
Speaker 1: pretending you believe that Tim Allen was Santa Claus. No
Speaker 1: what whatever? Anyway, agreed, okay, agreed, okayek mythology Okay, okay, Yoko, Yoko,
Speaker 1: get back to get back into okay, Greek mythology. Greek mythology, okay, Um,
Speaker 1: can you can you tell us um about like, I
Speaker 1: don't know who's your favorite god? Mmmm? Oh now that's
Speaker 1: going to be a fun one. Now. I don't like
Speaker 1: to play favorites when it comes to, uh, the gods
Speaker 1: in mythology. That's not like my dad because I'm not
Speaker 1: his favorite. Go on, Oh, do we want to explore
Speaker 1: that a little bit? No, it's okay, it's okay. You don't,
Speaker 1: you don't, you don't you don't like exploring No, or
Speaker 1: you don't like, or you don't like, you don't like, Um,
Speaker 1: you like choosing favorites, you don't like choosing favorites or
Speaker 1: I mean you have several sorts of gods as like Zeus,
Speaker 1: Apollo aside him. Um, there's all sorts of gods, but
Speaker 1: it depends on I don't know what I'm feeling at
Speaker 1: certain times of the season. Yeah yeah, oh well you know, um,
Speaker 1: my dad kind of reminds me of Zeus. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: and we'll wait tell me about that. That sounds wonderful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he ruinds me to Zeus because you know, Zeus seems
Speaker 1: like he was a kind of a horn dog. You know,
Speaker 1: he was running around trying to sleep with trees and
Speaker 1: all kinds of woodland spirits and horses and things like that,
Speaker 1: and that kind of reminds me of my dad from
Speaker 1: two thousand and five to two twelve. Two thousand and
Speaker 1: five to two thousand and twelve, that's a long time
Speaker 1: for your dad to be doing that. Do you want
Speaker 1: to unpack that? Because you keep bringing it up. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it'll come out later organically. That's okay, So professor,
Speaker 1: please tell me what who's your whore? Who are you
Speaker 1: currently feeling right now? In Greek mythology for the season, Oh,
Speaker 1: for the season, I would probably have to say Athena. Athena. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's the goddess of reason, wisdom, and war, the goddess
Speaker 1: of war, kind of like my step mom, Sharon. That's oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know what she is? She reasonable? Is she?
Speaker 1: Do you find her way? She's nothing like Athena? But
Speaker 1: can you tell us a little bit more about is
Speaker 1: ah is Athens, Georgia named after Athena? I you know what,
Speaker 1: I honest, I couldn't tell you that. I study the
Speaker 1: Greek mythology and only that I'm sure that there might
Speaker 1: be some connection there, the same way you're connecting your
Speaker 1: family to everything that's happening here. I thought I was
Speaker 1: going to be interviewed more on, you know, Greek mythology.
Speaker 1: You are you still are? You still are? Still still?
Speaker 1: Because I have a lot of knowledge, I'd really like
Speaker 1: to share that with those who who want to explore more,
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, okay, okay, So then place. So I
Speaker 1: know I know Greek myth I know this because I
Speaker 1: am an expert. I know Greek mythology has a lot
Speaker 1: of stories, a lot of fables. There are can you
Speaker 1: can you tell us one that you think modern day
Speaker 1: children could benefit from still hearing and learning? Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: oh of course. Um. One I would probably talk about
Speaker 1: is Icarus. Are you familiar with Icarus? I loved Eternals.
Speaker 1: I loved Eternals. I thought Richard Madden, Richard Madden, he
Speaker 1: is so hot. Yeah, not super familiar with that. But okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know who this Icarus is. Then well, he
Speaker 1: was a son of another Greek god and his father
Speaker 1: created wings for him, and he didn't listen to his
Speaker 1: father when he told him to not fly too close
Speaker 1: to the sun and what happened twins twins, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't listen to my I don't listen to my
Speaker 1: dad either. Well, Acres died from not listening to his father.
Speaker 1: Do you want to die like Acarus? Wait? How did
Speaker 1: he die? He flew too close to the sun, the
Speaker 1: wings melted and he fell into the sea. No, that's
Speaker 1: so sad. Yes, you think kids could learn from that.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's it's time that children take a
Speaker 1: moment to listen to the lessons and the values that
Speaker 1: their parents are trying to teach them instead of jumping
Speaker 1: onto wax wings and just flying close to the sun
Speaker 1: doing whatever they want, and they fall to their own
Speaker 1: deaths and their own horrible things that happened to them.
Speaker 1: I think it's important that we listen to our elders. Oh,
Speaker 1: listen to our elders. Oh, what's wrong? Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just you sound. It's just like you
Speaker 1: sound like my stepmom, Sharon, Like do you know her? I?
Speaker 1: Actually I don't. I don't shared you don't know Sharon.
Speaker 1: She's like this Greek myth you're talking about, because she's like,
Speaker 1: here's here's this thing but don't do anything fun with it.
Speaker 1: Don't have fun or else you're gonna die. And you're
Speaker 1: gonna die because I'm going to abandon you in the forest.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you this fun little kid to go camping,
Speaker 1: but if you if you use it, you're gonna go
Speaker 1: die because I'm not gonna go pick you up. And
Speaker 1: the only thing that's in there are marshmallows and graham crackers.
Speaker 1: No chocolate first moore, so you can only have nasty,
Speaker 1: nasty marshmallows with Graham crackers. And I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: leave you in the forest, and you're gonna die if
Speaker 1: you don't listen to me, if you don't shut up
Speaker 1: and stop interrupting our PTA meetings. Okay, uh wow, this
Speaker 1: got really uncomfortable, and I don't want to. I don't
Speaker 1: need to call that out. I just I will. I
Speaker 1: want you explore your feelings and I want you to
Speaker 1: feel validated. But this is I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: the type of professional that you're looking forward to speak
Speaker 1: on these things. And I'm so sorry he did you
Speaker 1: three days ago when she dropped me off here and
Speaker 1: then she forgot to pick me up, so you haven't
Speaker 1: been picked up in three days. No, I've just been
Speaker 1: here in the studio. Oh um, can somebody help? No, no, Olivia,
Speaker 1: it's okay. No, no, it's okay. It's okay. No, no no,
Speaker 1: no's okay. It's some sort of No, it's abandonment negligent
Speaker 1: law that's happening here. I'm well into my twenties. It's okay.
Speaker 1: I should I should figure it out, even your twenties. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: So one of my favorite Greek creatures is a hippocampus,
Speaker 1: you know, like a part horse part fish. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: like the front of a horse and the back of fish,
Speaker 1: like a little like a sea horse kind of thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What did what to make that? What went and where? Oh?
Speaker 1: And had some fun like in the back of the
Speaker 1: library with Miss Peterson and my dad. What went where
Speaker 1: to make that? So you're asking me, basically, who are
Speaker 1: the two types of species that created the hip campus?
Speaker 1: Like are they real? Because if they're real, what did what?
Speaker 1: Because I would like to know. This is Greek mythology,
Speaker 1: This is a miss means made up their stories, their legends,
Speaker 1: their tales, legends, yales. So you're telling me right now
Speaker 1: that my favorite animal is not real. So you're telling
Speaker 1: me that I'm never going to be able to go
Speaker 1: to the Tampa Bay Aquarium and find them. You will
Speaker 1: never find an actual I mean, you can find a
Speaker 1: seahorse that's not the same. Okay, well you can also,
Speaker 1: you know, you can draw them. There are several pictures
Speaker 1: online if you just type in the letters G O,
Speaker 1: G L and then a little period and then it's
Speaker 1: the O M. You're able to find so many pictures
Speaker 1: of a hippo campus. I would highly suggest that and
Speaker 1: that might satisfy more of your desire for your favorite animal. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll do that after this. Thank you very much, professor. Okay,
Speaker 1: you don't sound I know you're not enjoying this. I'm enjoying.
Speaker 1: I'm having fun. I'm not. I'm not. I'm I'm fun.
Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm not mad. I was saying I'm not.
Speaker 1: I was I'm not. I'm not mad. I'm You seem
Speaker 1: like we have a lot of your mind. Do you
Speaker 1: want to talk about No, it's you know why, It's like,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just you know, I've just been here
Speaker 1: for three days and I thought that after talking to you,
Speaker 1: I would have some you know, my dreams come true.
Speaker 1: And now I'm finding out that Santa Claus isn't real,
Speaker 1: and which I knew. You're twenty years old, you should
Speaker 1: probably know that Santa Claus is not real. You said
Speaker 1: you're in your twenties, And I mean, do we need
Speaker 1: to have a hard talk about these things? Because I
Speaker 1: can definitely put my my mom at on. No, I
Speaker 1: don't have kids, but I intend to one day. I
Speaker 1: will hope that these ovaries of my body will get
Speaker 1: fertilized as I'm continuing to wait to find the right person.
Speaker 1: But this isn't about my problems, isn't now? It's about you, right.
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to be an interview but
Speaker 1: now I'm sitting here realizing that I don't even know
Speaker 1: if I want kids after talking to you and just
Speaker 1: kids being mistreated and abandoned in studios for weeks on end,
Speaker 1: and and no one cares about Greek mythology either way.
Speaker 1: I do Oh no, no, no, no, no, professor, don't
Speaker 1: get don't don't get it. I'm fine, No, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm okay, you know what, I'm gonna be the best
Speaker 1: interviewer ever. Okay, Alevi already talk to me about this
Speaker 1: multiple times, so I'm gonna do it. Okay, So I'm interested. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm here. I'm listening about Greek mythology. So you
Speaker 1: know I'm going to read off of my cars now
Speaker 1: if that's okay, Yes, thank you, because I feel for you.
Speaker 1: I just don't help. I want to help. You're gonna
Speaker 1: be such a good You're gonna be such a good
Speaker 1: mom one day. You're gonna be like such such all
Speaker 1: the time. It's fine. Excuse me, I need to drink along. No,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be such a good mom, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: take care of your kids, and you're gonna take them
Speaker 1: to fun places, and you're gonna you're gonna let them
Speaker 1: believe in Santa clause onlike me. I'm sorry. This took
Speaker 1: a turn. This really took a turn. No, it's okay.
Speaker 1: I think these kinds of cathartic moments are important. I
Speaker 1: think they're important for us. I think they're important for us.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Okay. So um as I understand there are
Speaker 1: the big three gods. There's Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: can you tell me if you had to f mary
Speaker 1: kill those three who would you do for what? Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, um, well, I would mary Poseidon there's more
Speaker 1: room in the ocean. Yeah, I've seen enough of the
Speaker 1: earth to realize the amount of trash that sits on
Speaker 1: this beautiful canvas. But it's been contaminated with human like trash.
Speaker 1: And then I would say I would probably have a
Speaker 1: fling with mister Zeus. I mean, it's Zeus, but I'd
Speaker 1: be afraid he might break me in half and I'd die,
Speaker 1: And then of course i'd kill Hades. I'm not interested in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be down there. It's a little
Speaker 1: too hot for me. Everything might melt. And I highly
Speaker 1: doubt that he uses lube. So you're afraid that he
Speaker 1: would just be raw dogging without lube. I believe that
Speaker 1: he would be not as kind and intimate the way
Speaker 1: I would want a Greek god to be self. Lube
Speaker 1: is nice. Please don't write that down, thank you. No,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I got a little bit too candid. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, can we take this that? Can we excuse me?
Speaker 1: Can we go ahead and not just keep going keep going?
Speaker 1: Because you know what, Professor, no one's ever given me
Speaker 1: the talk, and that's kind of the closest I've ever
Speaker 1: gotten to the talk, and that was awesome. My dad
Speaker 1: and my stepmom Sharon refused to give me the talk,
Speaker 1: so that was actually kind of the closest thing I've
Speaker 1: ever gotten. They give you the talk. I don't really
Speaker 1: even know what the talk is, but everyone keeps talking
Speaker 1: about having it. But that seems kind of like it.
Speaker 1: And now I know lube is nice, So thank you
Speaker 1: for teaching me that, Professor. I highly recommend lots of
Speaker 1: club Thank you. Okay. Lube is oil to be exact
Speaker 1: to eat and to give us gifts in baskets. Cool, perfect,
Speaker 1: thank you, professor. Okay, here's my answer for that question. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think I would marry Hades, oh because he is underground,
Speaker 1: so he has lots of wealth, like lots of jewels, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, like diamonds are down there, and rubies and
Speaker 1: sapphires and emeralds. So I would marry him for that,
Speaker 1: and I feel like I like it rough, so I
Speaker 1: would like it. Um, I would f poseidon, okay, because
Speaker 1: then maybe afterwards he'll give me a hippocampus as a
Speaker 1: gift maybe if okay, okay, yeah, I don't know if.
Speaker 1: And then I would kill zeus because he reminds me
Speaker 1: of my dad. No, oh, I'm sorry. I jumped the gun. There,
Speaker 1: I assume I'm sorry. Well, now I don't want to
Speaker 1: kill my dad. I just I just think that there's
Speaker 1: room for our relationship to grow. But he's just too
Speaker 1: busy taking care of his other families and Sharon, he said,
Speaker 1: families with an s. How many families father have? I
Speaker 1: had five step moms growing up, and he had kids
Speaker 1: with shout them. Okay, Um, you really are doing with
Speaker 1: some stuff here. No, it's okay. I'm okay, I'm okay,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm having the time of my life. Really, that's
Speaker 1: so hard for me to believe it. Okay, yeah, should
Speaker 1: we call someone? No, don't go someone, don't go someone else, Sharon,
Speaker 1: don't get bad? Oh yeah, quite the monster. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be Okay, I'm gonna go back. I'm gonna go back
Speaker 1: to my card. Okay, I'm sorry. Um okay. So it
Speaker 1: says that Harrah is the mother? Wait can I say
Speaker 1: that word around, drumster. I don't want to make you
Speaker 1: upset again. You can say mother because you're gonna be
Speaker 1: a great mom. Well if you when you stop and
Speaker 1: ask me if I'm going to be okay. I wasn't
Speaker 1: thinking about it before. I mean, I wasn't even thinking
Speaker 1: about any of that before this conversation. I thought I
Speaker 1: was going to be here just discussing my top favorite
Speaker 1: Greek mythologies. I can't even say words right. I went
Speaker 1: to Columbia. I should know how to speak about it.
Speaker 1: Can you tell me about your time at Columbia? How
Speaker 1: was that? It was fun? I was one of the
Speaker 1: few persons of color there and stuck together. And I
Speaker 1: was actually the only Afro Latina who enjoys Greek mythology. Wow.
Speaker 1: Family has turned their backs to me because they don't
Speaker 1: believe it's a real job either. So but hey, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm fine. You know what. I live in my penthouse
Speaker 1: on fifty first and Lennox, and I am happy. Okay, here, sure, professor,
Speaker 1: because we can talk about that. It sounds like Colombia.
Speaker 1: It sounds like Columbia. Did you at least have fun
Speaker 1: at Columbia? Oh? Yeah, yeah, but I one thing I
Speaker 1: did not do was join any Greek organizations. Me neither
Speaker 1: because none of them would take me. Oh yeah, might
Speaker 1: as was by choice. I can't choose one Creek. Oh
Speaker 1: so you could have gotten into one if you wanted to,
Speaker 1: of course, I mean, I mean that's cool, that's cool.
Speaker 1: How many Greek organizations did you try to apply it?
Speaker 1: To be about it? Five a year? Five a year?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, for six years? So thirty okay? All right,
Speaker 1: well they all can't be winners. Okay, So as I understand,
Speaker 1: it's the Romans when they call an eyes and took
Speaker 1: over that area. They took a lot of the gods
Speaker 1: and just renamed them, right, like Aries became Mars, and
Speaker 1: Aphrodite became Venus and whatnot. What would your Roman name be?
Speaker 1: Oh my, that's a great question. Well I would say
Speaker 1: I'd go from being Aisha to Mother Nature. Aisha to
Speaker 1: Mother Nature. Yes, Mother Nature is a great mom too.
Speaker 1: I'd be her happily. I'd take on all the all
Speaker 1: the life. Oh wait, I just had a crazy idea. Okay, professor,
Speaker 1: what if you and my dad got married and then
Speaker 1: I became your kid. I know, I'm only a few
Speaker 1: years younger than you've I'll act really young. You told
Speaker 1: me your father had five other stepmothers. I'm not. I
Speaker 1: can get I can have them moved to Arizona. They
Speaker 1: can go away like I'll drive them myself. I'll drive
Speaker 1: them myself. I've heard that before. There's been so many
Speaker 1: people who have tried to set me up with their
Speaker 1: fathers so that I could be their stepmother. This isn't
Speaker 1: the first time. Okay, this is not the first time. Okay,
Speaker 1: And I will learn from the last three that happened.
Speaker 1: I will not do it again. Okay. I've decided to
Speaker 1: go on to Tinder to find myself a mate who
Speaker 1: will fertilize the last few eggs that I have. So
Speaker 1: you don't want to marry my dad, I don't even
Speaker 1: know your dad. Well, can I pitch him to you?
Speaker 1: You can shoot your shot? Sure, Okay, Okay. He's five four.
Speaker 1: He looks kind of like if an Asian Danny de
Speaker 1: Vito got mixed with the actor that played Gallam. He
Speaker 1: has bad breath in the morning. His favorite place to
Speaker 1: go for major self librations is the Eyehop by the airport,
Speaker 1: and he's the runner up for the Nathan's Hot Dog Regionals,
Speaker 1: the eating competition for or five years in a row.
Speaker 1: He has two Toyota cam rees with dents in the back,
Speaker 1: but they both drive really really good. And he's a
Speaker 1: co owner with his friend Pat at a local Domino's franchise.
Speaker 1: So he smells like cheesy bread all the time, and
Speaker 1: he can get you fifty percent off. Well, it sounds
Speaker 1: like someone out there would be a good match for him.
Speaker 1: So you don't like you don't like him, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make that a hard pass. Are you sure he's really nice? Again?
Speaker 1: He smells like cheesy bread all the time. He smells
Speaker 1: like cheesy bread and he's my hero. Oh that's good.
Speaker 1: Maybe he should spend more time with your dad. It's
Speaker 1: not like I haven't tried. Maybe it should be more aggressive.
Speaker 1: I just think that you would do really well with him,
Speaker 1: and maybe you can move into our house. Hey, maybe
Speaker 1: you can move into our house. You live in a
Speaker 1: two bed, zero bath, it's in the city. Why am
Speaker 1: I even considering this? Then? No, no, no, you can't
Speaker 1: just go pitching the idea of your dad and no
Speaker 1: man should ever smell like cheesy breadsticks. That's not attractive. No,
Speaker 1: you have to deal with the cards that you've been dealt,
Speaker 1: and you have to figure out a way to reshuffle
Speaker 1: your own deck if you want to. But you're not
Speaker 1: just gonna just throw away the hand that you have.
Speaker 1: You have to figure out how you're going to use it.
Speaker 1: But Sharon's mean, and you seem, really, what does she
Speaker 1: do that's me? Why does she not do that to me?
Speaker 1: Give her a chance? Mean, I'd give her a chances
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. Okay. She's been in my life
Speaker 1: since two thousand and eight, and every chance she gets,
Speaker 1: she's so mean. Okay, I want to hear your version
Speaker 1: of me. She's so mean, like like sometimes we'll be
Speaker 1: eating dinner and then I'll I'll accidentally miss my mouth
Speaker 1: and I'll drop the fork and then she'll point at
Speaker 1: me and laugh and go, nice move, Homo, And I
Speaker 1: realized that that's my last name. But still it hurts. Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: how I was going to ask how old your stepmother is,
Speaker 1: but it sounds like she, uh, I mean, you could
Speaker 1: move out. I guess you're in your twenties. You can
Speaker 1: definitely get a job. Well, I started this podcast to
Speaker 1: prove a point to her. Do you think I'm Do
Speaker 1: you think I'm doing a good job at this? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, if you could stick to the topics, What
