welcome, welcome, welcome everyone. We are back from the holiday weekend and ready to slip it in with you, maddie.
JJ:We are dying to know or god, I'm not sure we're dying to know.
Megan O:Well, we want to know, I guess, have the hummingbirds arrived?
Matty:No.
Megan O:Oh God.
Matty:Hey, not for lack of effort, I'm just going to put a bow on this. We are done trying to get the hummingbirds, but there's some bird action on the property. But there's some bird action on the property. So, while I have abandoned the hummingbird attraction, do you guys remember when I had the little run-in with the sweet little lady doing Costco?
JJ:Yes, yeah, the lupines, not lupines, lupines, alyssa actually corrected us and said that the E is silent. Okay, so it's lupine. So what is it? Lupine, not lupine, not lupines, a list. I actually corrected us and said that the e is silent, okay, so it's. So what is it?
Matty:the pine, not little pain not a little bit okay. So I had the lupines in my car and she is like, oh my god, those are perfect for hummingbirds. And I'm like, oh funny, you should say that. And then she's like you know what else you could do? You can put some little grape jam in a or maybe it was grape jelly in like a little container, and the Oreos will come. So I have done that.
JJ:So you shift from hummingbirds to Oreos.
Matty:Well, I wouldn't say I shifted, I plussed up Like I put. I don't know what's the difference. Is there a difference?
Megan O:Yes, Jelly has no seeds and jam has seeds.
Matty:Oh my God, what if I'm putting seeds in it and these Oreos are dying?
Megan O:The only way I will say is maybe grapes don't make jam, maybe they're only in grape jelly format. I'm not sure.
Matty:Well, I'm really actually I'm really honestly concerned, right, because I like what if they have a seed allergy or like a bird might not be able to digest it?
JJ:The only way that I can distinguish between jelly and jam is through a RuPaul song that says must be jelly because jam don't shake.
Megan O:Yeah, stop it.
Matty:Well, I don't think, the Orioles, I don't think, I don't think the. Orioles. These Orioles are not like Well, okay. Well, here's the thing I haven't seen an Oriole, but the jam, or jelly, jam slash jelly, has disappeared. Oh really, I just went out there today and there's the little container and it's hanging on A plant thing Like you stick in the ground and it's a plant Hanger and all I thing like you, stick in the ground and it's a plant Hanger. Hanger, yeah, and all I saw was like 72 little ants.
Megan O:Oh God, the ants probably ate it all, but like how the fuck did these little things?
Matty:how did they even get in there? Like, how does an ant get from the ground up this three-foot pole and into this jam?
JJ:I don't know how they get where they get. Ants everywhere.
Matty:Nobody's asking the question how are these little ants getting into spaces?
Megan O:Well, maybe the squirrels got into it.
JJ:Maybe the jam Did they like that.
Megan O:Squirrels, they eat everything.
Matty:What and what you're saying? The ants are piggybacking on the squirrels.
Megan O:I don't know, maybe, but piggybacking on the squirrels' backs.
Matty:I don't know, maybe, who knows?
Megan O:what's happening I?
Matty:can't? Okay, well, tune in next year, I'm going to give it another shot for the Helms.
JJ:We're done, you're done.
Matty:For our listeners. If you're tired of it, I'm done, Okay, good.
Megan O:Well, we had a listener from St Clair Shores message us about a new shot with Malort.
Matty:As if you didn't think it could get worse.
Megan O:Yeah, I didn't think it could get worse, but this actually might be worse. It's called the Chicago Streetwalker and it is.
JJ:What is it about?
Megan O:Well, it's Malort and tuna fish.
Matty:Wait a minute To be clear.
Megan O:It's not like chunks.
Matty:Hold on, it's not chunks of tuna fish, it is tuna fish juice.
JJ:So like when you open the can and you squeeze it.
Matty:Yes, it's like you're squeezing that into your shot of Malort.
JJ:So for a second, I thought this was like a version of like a dirty martini, where you have the olive so you can just like get a chunk of tuna.
Megan O:Oh my God, I didn't know. Now that you say that it's the juice.
Matty:Oh, does that sound better.
JJ:No, no, no, no, no, no no no it doesn't None of it sounds better. No, but I'm saying oh, I know they want a dirtier Like a tunier.
Matty:Fisher A fishy, a fishy, a fishy.
Megan O:Malort, a fisher Malort, oh Well if you're out there drinking those Chicago streetwalkers, message us, call us, let us know what the real beer tastes like.
Matty:I feel like one. If you're doing Malort, we want to hear from you. Tastes like. I feel like one if you're doing malort, we want to hear from you. And two if you're plussing it up with tuna fish juice like call your therapist and then call us yeah, 100.
JJ:And since you are all doing updates, I feel the need to update you and something that I talked about on last episode of my pullout, which was, uh, certain individuals that will bring in that bluetooth speaker to the gym you guys remember oh, I remember well. Um, this week I went to the gym and that same person that was bringing, or usually comes in with his bluetooth speaker, um, he's right on that same corner with not just a Bluetooth speaker but a cooler what A whole cooler, and it's like a wheel in cooler.
Megan O:Oh, so it's not just like those little kind of lunch coolers?
JJ:No, not at all. What's a lunch?
Megan O:cooler. Well, they're like just the little, uh kind of like little thermal bags. No, yes.
Matty:But most of them are like little handheld. Like.
Megan O:Yeti makes a little square one.
Matty:So what are we talking about? We're talking about a full on. It's got like wheels.
JJ:It has wheels, it has a handle.
Megan O:Oh, my God, that's insane Nobody.
JJ:I have a picture.
Matty:I have a picture, I'm going to put it on the social, so that people can see how annoying that looks. Okay, let, okay, let me paint a picture. Yeah, I'm coming into the gym. Yeah, I'm going to go up to the counter and scan my card.
JJ:Yeah, you probably are thinking the same thing. I thought.
Matty:I have a full cooler.
JJ:Yeah.
Matty:On wheels and no one's going to ask me like sir, no, what are you bringing in to the gym? Like what is? Are you having a picnic? What's happening?
JJ:No, yeah, that's exactly Like no one's checking this. I was thinking the same thing. I'm like so this person is wheeling in this igloo cooler with, and he's just setting up camp.
Matty:setting up camp Plugged to igloo.
JJ:Yeah, plugged to igloo. Like he's just setting up camp with this igloo, his towels are folded, the Bluetooth speaker is right there. It's like he's at the beach.
Megan O:Oh my God, the gym, the bluetooth speaker is right there it's like he's at the beach.
Matty:Oh my god, the gym is not a beach well, don't get you and get me started on a beach. Well, a little transition from beach gym, beach to beaches I am not a fan of.
Megan O:I am not a fan of sand well I don't love the sand, but I love walking in the sand along the water.
Matty:100, that sounds like that little poem about footprints. But I, for those of you that know, you know when they're not walking with you they're carrying you, something like that. But look it up, google it. But I I go ahead. I'm just saying like I do not care for I love the ambience of a beach in terms of, like I love water, I love the view, I love the sunset, all those things. But like the minute you get in the water and then you get out of the water, all that sand just magnetically interacts to your body and I can't stand it and I immediately get very grumpy. So I'm more of a pool guy.
Megan O:Yeah I love a pool. Who doesn't love a pool? And this we just got past memorial day weekend and here on the east coast everyone opens their pools. Memorial Day weekend, that's the big memorial. Are we East Coast?
Matty:Well.
JJ:Midwest.
Matty:Yeah, I would go Midwest. Well, fine Fair enough, fair enough Carry on.
Megan O:Midwest East Coast. That's when the big weekend, when pools get open.
JJ:I love. I mean, I love a pool, but I'm just like a general, like a water boy, I think.
Megan O:Well, I'm a pool, but I'm just like a general, like a water boy, I think Well.
Matty:I'm a water sign, so I'm a water sign too.
Megan O:I'm very into the water.
JJ:Yes, I'm a water sign too, which I think that that's the reason why, every time I see like a body of water whether that is the beach, the lake or the pool I'm right there.
Matty:Right in that? Yeah, why.
JJ:Is it a Spanish thing thing, maybe, maybe, like I think. I mean, I, you know, having you know, be like being myself a spanish person, I think that you know have family in puerto rico. You're like it's a tropical island. You're there like it's just like it's, it's, it's cultural it is cultural thing, and I think that that is like one of those things that I had to even adapt myself when I moved here to Michigan, because even for us Spaniards, when we go to the beach or to the pool, we wear our Speedos.
Matty:There we go. I have a story about this, but go ahead, no.
JJ:I do remember I don't know if this is the same story you're thinking about, but I do remember when I was like we were about to go to a pool day and Matt immediately is like, hey, are you talking about?
Matty:at my family's pool. Yeah, okay, I just want to like set the stage Go ahead.
JJ:Yeah, and you said this is a family event.
Megan O:So you better not wear that speedo. Oh my God that speedo.
JJ:Oh my god. Honestly speaking, like I like. If when you grew, when you grow up, knowing like speedos are the thing or like nothing at all, is a normal thing to just go to the beach or the pool, then you're not thinking about that. But megan matt asked me to like go and get me some boy shorts all right, hold up.
Megan O:Well, in europe it is he's very common.
Matty:I get that and he is speaking the truth. However, it is a situation where it is my dad and my stepmom's pool and house and I and they have always been accepting of me and my relationships. But, like I'm picking up on cues, because my dad is always like introduced, when jj and I were together he would refer to him as my man friend. He couldn't, he couldn't, it's fine. He couldn't bring himself to say boyfriend or, more acceptably, partner, he would say man friend. So I'm picking up on this cues and I just feel like this could send my dad the edge. When the Spaniard comes into the pool and with his speedos constantly diving from the side, because the thing yes or no?
Matty:Yes or no?
JJ:You would constantly like you would get you dive into any opportunity I can get dive in to dive in out, because again, and I don't know um you know, for any of um new listeners that are into, like the um science and and all that thing I mean as water science, I think that I find myself gravitating towards water constantly, me too, and if I'm in the pool, I just need to like dive in, get out dive in, but can I ask you a question?
Matty:Yeah, so, like, I was a little, admittedly so like, uncomfortable about the spinoff. But what okay, but what okay. But like did my stepmom take it to another level because she was like you?
JJ:know, like we don't even need that, right? No, tell the listeners that's what I was gonna say, because you were saying well, the first, your first um thought to me, like you said to me like you need to wear this board shorts because of my family yet, like when I get to this family event or this family pool day, matt's stepmom comes to me and she I mean, we were there with our another one of our best friends, to 11 o'clock at night, though this is like champagne was flowing for her yes, so our friends you know me and in another of our friends, which also is spanish or hispanic, he was there too and she's like oh my god, look at you guys with your booties out.
Matty:And she was very, you know, very friendly to us and she did very friendly, like she was friendly, okay, but it was actually my first time even meeting her oh, it was yes, 100.
JJ:That makes this story funnier megan, she said you know that you guys can skinny dip if you want to I mean like now that I'm like I've always I know this
Megan O:story as well but, she would have loved a speedo 100.
Matty:Oh my god, yeah she apparently had the binocs ready to go. Like, get in the pool, yeah, and she grabbed.
JJ:Yeah, she did grab my hand a little bit, but I welcomed it. I always do.
Matty:Oh my God, these pools and these parties were crazy.
Megan O:I love a party at your family's pool, maddie. Now speaking of that, has your dad opened his pool yet? Was he part of the big memorial day weekend he was.
Matty:I got a photo. I'm laughing because it brings back a different memory, but I got a fan uh photo from them the other day and they're skimming the pool and it reminded like it's weird because it came through, obviously via text, but I grew up with a pool. Starting in middle school, we lived in a little town in the city outside of Grand Rapids. My dad was trying to graduate up into a country home. He's looking at the home and he hadn't made a decision and the people that were selling the home.
Matty:Actually it's so weird to think about now, but gave him a photo album oh, wow of like here's pictures of the house and the property, because it was 20 acres, like a family album. Well, yeah, I don't, I didn't read like a family album, just like I felt like they put it together as like a portfolio of here's our home, like what you would do now on like Zillow or something like you know you go to Zillow, there's 15 photos. Right, these were 15 photos, but put in a album because that was the technology, that was, it wasn't there, that was it wasn't there. So so we're going through the album and there was like a, like a round table and we're all and all of a sudden somebody says, oh, my god are those people naked what?
Megan O:and the pictures. They put a naked photo in the album.
Matty:I don't think they cared, but the owners of the property that were selling, it turns out, were nudists.
Megan O:They were nudists or it was a nudist colony TBD, but I don't know.
Matty:But at the time, I mean, there was just two of them in the photo, but in front of the pool.
Megan O:Oh my God, here's us. Oh that pool.
Matty:Here's the selling piece of the property, like you need this home because of this pool. And, by the way, here's me and my wife naked standing there, and I we to this day do not know whether or not that was intentional or a misstep, but they were comfortable in their nudity I love it and so you know what we bought the house.
Megan O:Well, thank god, you did that pool has seen more than a speedo, I think.
Matty:Oh my god 100 and you know, what is even funnier is like fast forward like 20 years. Okay, a little bit of a rabbit hole, but the, the wife of the couple that sold the house, came back to our home one day and knocked on the front door and asked my dad if she could walk the property, because her husband what?
JJ:did he say?
Matty:well, my dad's like, of course, go ahead, because she's like I just want to walk the property. It is sentimental to me. We we spent a lot of our life here and my dad's like, of course, walk the property. She walks the property and I'm sorry, but I don't know if it's funny or not, but to me it's funny. She comes back and she said oh my god, my husband's gonna be so happy that I spread him here, buddy oh my god.
Megan O:So she like acted like she just wanted a sentimental walk, but it was really dumping ashes all over the property.
JJ:So she put him in the pool. Oh my God, that's a good question. I'll just tell you this.
Matty:I don't think there were any clothes in the ashes.
Megan O:I think it was just full fledged. God, I cannot. That is too much.
JJ:I do remember, like going back to this pool parties, that you had like Megan bringing in all the floats.
Megan O:Oh yeah. I love a pool float. I love a pool float it started off harmless.
Matty:I think she brought like a swan.
Megan O:Yeah, I love those big swans yeah.
JJ:I love a big swan Swan and flamingo yeah, Swan, flamingo unicorn.
Matty:Okay, fast forward to like party.
Megan O:four years later, there were 25 floats in this kidney-shaped pool and everyone loved it because everyone could get on a float.
Matty:No, not everyone loved it in the morning. Like everyone leaves that night, but me wakes up in the morning hungover. Hungover because it's a pool party off the rails and I have 15 to 20 floats to deflate, which is not an easy task.
Megan O:If anyone's defloat some of those. I know some of the big ones well I'm trying to sit on the swan's neck.
Matty:I'm trying to, I'm trying to squish the watermelon what? About the flamingo the flaming flamingo is like oh my God girl, these birds, they keep coming into my life.
JJ:Yes, Well, I love it. Those were fun times, those were.
Matty:Well, megan was always okay. Can I ask what? Can we talk about your little toe tip?
Megan O:So Megan would come. Well, I'm a water. Anytime I see water, I water. I just am like drawn to do a little toe tip but because I want to know, is it hot? Is it cold?
Matty:is it something I want to try to get into is always a definite rsvps to the pool party and she would start off a little toe tip. But it's not just a toe tip in my pool, it expands to.
JJ:Anywhere we go, that has a pool.
Megan O:Well, yeah, if I see a pool, my toe's tipping.
Matty:But it could be a pool at a hotel that you don't even have a reservation for. Yes or no?
Megan O:No.
Matty:Oh my God, have you not? Said like I, I'm gonna pretend like I have a room. I'm gonna get a little.
Megan O:No, I usually book a room. Yes, to have a pool day, and and I cancel or no no, I keep the room. Yeah, I keep the room, and then I have a pool day yeah, and I may or may not stay there and sometimes no, and sometimes she would.
JJ:She'll be aware of any of our friends that are staying in a hotel and, if that is, that pool is available and it's near us 100 for the audience and the listeners.
Matty:Can we just, by your standards, explain a toe tip?
Megan O:you I mean it's your shoe off and sock off if you have one on and you just tip your toe in the water and that's satisfying. You don't need a full immersion in the pool, no, I like, well, a toe tip, and then if it's really warm and nice or luring to me, then yeah, I'll get in the pool. But sometimes I could just be somewhere, like at a hotel, for dinner and I'm like, all right, let's go walk by the pool on our way out and you toe tip and I do a toe tip.
JJ:Or sometimes there's been times that obviously we get remote work, hybrid work, any of it were to be a work day, and we just happened to visit our friend at the pool.
Megan O:She's toe tipping. Oh, I can work and do a little toe tip here and there and not get in the water and do my work, but still be at the pool.
Matty:It's fascinating to me that I mean there's a whole pool and all you need is the big toe tipping it Well if it's a 90 degree day, I'm probably getting in the pool.
JJ:If it's a 70 degree day, I might just do a toe tip and not get in. Okay, fair enough, fair enough, but for the sake of instagram. I've had moments that I've dive in into a 50 degree weather oh, my god, I can't temperature pool. I did that in south africa just for the picture and I did a dive in, got out got the picture.
Matty:That's a no for me yeah I mean, no, I'm a toe tip on a day like that oh, he did a full, he did a full tap, he put the full tip in.
Megan O:Was there a speedo on I?
JJ:I don't think I think it was a short short. I think it was in between, yeah, and in between. I was there and I was it was a short short. A short short, I think it was in between yeah, an in-between one.
Matty:I was there and it was freezing cold. And he's like no for the content. For the content. And my dad and my stepmom was like take it off.
Megan O:I was going to say she was looking for that speed up. I was going to say the encouragement mainly came from Maddie's thing.
Matty:Wow, yeah, she's like we can do it. Get the photo.
Megan O:Yes.
Matty:Yeah, yeah.
Megan O:Well, I think it's time for a hot topic Should we pull one out of the mug.
Matty:Yeah, let me get the mug. I'm going to hold on. Okay, I'm pulling them.
JJ:Okay, what do we have?
Matty:Hold on. Oh okay, I'm not sure I'm up on this, but here we go. What do you think about the crypto torture case?
Megan O:oh, oh, I am following this like no tomorrow. Like you cannot believe it when I read the headlines, like it immediately drew me in. I'm toe tip pro tip or toe tip crypto.
Megan O:I just have a baby amount, um, anyway. So I kind of loosely keep in touch with crypto. And then I hear about this torture case and I've been reading all the articles because it's fascinating to me. So here's the story. What do you got? Yeah, there's a pair of they call them crypto bros, which are kind of like these young guys, I just hate your last name, bro.
Megan O:Well, I'm sorry, but this is like a term that people throw around, because these are like young guys who bought bitcoin when it was like a penny and now it's worth a hundred thousand000.
Matty:Just so you know. For the gays it's triggering.
JJ:Okay well fine, especially if it's spelled B-R-U with an H on the end.
Megan O:Well, this is well, I don't like that either, but I like crypto bros, so anyway two crypto bros, John Woltz and William Duplessis, are accused of sadistically torturing an Italian millionaire named Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturin, 28.
JJ:And I'm sure I like-.
Megan O:You got your Duolingo.
JJ:Wow.
Megan O:I think I butchered that name.
Matty:Oh my God, did he have a speedo on? Probably he's. Italian so these two Toe tap.
Megan O:Yeah, these two crypto bros lured Michael to New York City with the promise of returning Bitcoin they had allegedly stolen from him, only to then allegedly keep him hostage for 17 days in a Soho townhouse. 17 days. Yeah, trying to get the rest of his crypto. They wanted his password to get into his wallet rest of his crypto. They wanted his password to get into his wallet. So, in order to have crypto, um, or like bitcoin or any of the cryptocurrencies, you purchase them in these digital wallets and they are stored there with passwords so you never give your password out.
JJ:I'm not, I'm not very familiar with the same.
Megan O:Yeah well, and some people have passwords that they forgotten and can't get into their wallets.
Matty:So they have no access to their money?
Megan O:Yeah, Like, so you could have millions in crypto, but you don't have access to it and can't use it Anyway. So they were torturing him for all these days and finally, supposedly, michael said I'll give you my password for my Bitcoin, after he was dangled from the top of a staircase and was threatened that his whole family would be killed. So John Woltz went to go get his laptop to try to like break in with this password and at that moment Michael fled to freedom from the Soho townhouse. So he was all bloodied, allegedly didn't have a shirt on, and stumbled out of the house and ran to a police officer on the street and said I've been kidnapped and tortured.
JJ:I've not heard of any of this. I can't believe it.
Megan O:It's like I'm in. It gets crazier with these, like what was going on?
JJ:I kind of foresee it. I got dog documentary oh, 100 percent, one hundred percent, like what was going on. I kind of foresee like a doc, like a documentary coming out oh, 100%, 100% Netflix.
Megan O:And if it's not legit Netflix. It's a lifetime story.
Matty:Oh, they're already on it, yeah.
Megan O:Well, so allegedly, when cops entered the Soho townhouse, they discovered multiple Polaroid photos showing Michael being tied up with electrical wire and tortured.
Matty:Can I just I'm sorry For the younger viewers a Polaroid is like this thing, where you click it and a photo produces.
JJ:You'll be surprised, man. Even urban outfitters, they just have the Polaroid cameras out.
Matty:And I think that Gen Z's are into it. Everything about Polaroids, do they? I think so.
Megan O:I have a Polaroid. I take pictures of mini Polaroid I take pictures of mini Polaroid.
JJ:I take pictures of all my shoes.
Matty:Oh, I love this.
Megan O:And put the mini Polaroid on the side of the box.
Matty:I'm going to do this with my Orioles, you should.
Megan O:Oh God, please. So anyway. One of these Polaroid pictures showed Michael bound to a chair with electrical wire, with a gun pointed at his head. Another one showed him with a crack pipe shoved in his mouth while he was being held down.
Matty:Oh my god, Whitney's turning over.
Megan O:Yeah, exactly. The other thing is Manhattan prosecutors said in court the cops also found in those townhouse a chainsaw crack crack is whack per Whitney body armor night vision goggles ballistic helmets couldn't turn the lights on I don't know, and a gun with the ammunition wow, they really wanted this yeah, so they immediately arrest this guy, john waltz, who was in the townhouse and he's known, get this, as the crypto king of Kentucky.
Matty:Oh, wow, and he.
Megan O:So they arrest him Rising up from Kentucky, yeah they take him down out of the townhouse onto the streets and all he has on is a white bathrobe.
JJ:That's where I tune in.
Megan O:Oh, really, you saw the videos of the arrest.
JJ:I watched the video I watched the video.
Megan O:Oh, I love it.
JJ:I do like me a robe.
Megan O:Yeah, I watched the video because I do like me a robe. Yeah, who doesn't? I love?
JJ:it, but I was not looking at the robe, I was. I was hoping for a full frontal. Oh stop it, or a little, a little reveal.
Megan O:I think there was, because did you see the police? Had to mess with his bathrobe, Like I think it was out and about.
JJ:Yeah, I think it was adjusting a little bit.
Matty:Of course, Like did I hear machine guns, chainsaws, but like, how about a full frontal? Exactly.
JJ:But one thing I have to say here with this story and I'm glad that you're bringing this in, megan, because I do love me when Bravo shows up in any point of form Upcoming Bravo reality star Charlie and I'm going to butcher that last name, zakor. I think it is Okay. He was actually seen at the scene.
Megan O:Oh, and he's a star of the new Bravo show.
JJ:Next Gen.
Megan O:Next Gen, nyc, which I've been dying and waiting for. It premieres next week, I think June 6th.
Matty:I'm excited. What do you mean was seen at the scene?
JJ:He was just there, but apparently, according to bravo what's pd. There it's on brand it tracks he is busy in court, but he sometimes allegedly um charlie. I love allegedly Charlie allegedly will crash at this Soho house from time to time and yeah, he was seen at the scene of the arrest.
Megan O:So he was that guy in the background when they were arresting him. There's like a blonde guy. That's him yeah.
Matty:Hey audience members, this is my life. These two with a bravo I mean these two will travel to hell and back to see a bravo celeb, and so they're, they're focused on. This could be an opportunity for cleveland trip.
Megan O:no, it's not. No, I love, I love all the housewife shows. I watch a lot of the Bravo shows. I support it. I love a reality TV show and this show is kind of like the young kids of Real Housewives and other just general celebrities. So Next Gen NYC is starring Gia Giudice, whose mother is Teresa Giudice, who's on Real Housewives of New Jersey Cool, and went to jail for filing fraudulent papers.
JJ:She's not the one.
Megan O:Or signing loan documents.
Matty:She flipped a table though. Yes, she flipped a table, but correct me here.
JJ:Megan Is Gia, the one that is on U of M right now.
Megan O:No, she's, I think, already graduated. She was supposed to go to law school, but I think she dropped out or didn't go.
Matty:That tracks.
Megan O:Yeah, so it also stars Ava Dash, who is Damon Dash's daughter, and Damon Dash.
Matty:Are they part of DoorDash?
Megan O:No, Damon Dash co-founded Rockefeller Records with Jay-Z Like he's legit hip hop. Here we go.
Matty:P Diddy connects Well it's not here we go. It always tracks back, always tracks back.
Megan O:Brooks Marks is in it.
Matty:I want to say allegedly, because I have no proof. That's a word.
Megan O:Brooks Marks. He's the son of Meredith Marks.
Matty:Happy pride.
Megan O:From Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Ariana Bierman, who's the daughter of Kim Zolciak and Croy Bierman Kim. Zolciak was on Real Housewives of Atlanta and then starred in. Tardy for the Party with. Croy, who she married, and he's an NFL star or he's retired now Great. And Riley Burris, who is Kandi Burris' daughter.
JJ:I do like this, kandi she's Scrubs. No Chasing Waterfalls, no Scrubs, scrubs.
Matty:Same girl group.
JJ:TLC. All right, google it.
Megan O:So, anyway, I'm super excited for the show it premieres next week.
JJ:I was not as excited until Sharlee showed up on this video and that's crazy.
Megan O:But so this house.
Matty:Why is he in the background? I don't get it.
Megan O:Well, here's the thing this house that was being rented by these crypto bros rents for roughly $30,000 to $40,000 a month and was known as this major party house, and allegedly it was called a frat house for crypto bros, and plenty of people were crashing there and would constantly come and go, including some well-known socialites. Here we go. So that triggers like who are we going to see or hear about as this story evolves?
JJ:Yeah, because even according to the Bravo website, Charlie, he is a crypto trader and he's been on the clubs and he's a very influential person and image there ever since he was like 14 years old.
Megan O:Wow, that's crazy.
Matty:I don't know why, but my head just keeps going back to somehow PDD is going to get there.
Megan O:No, I don't think so I can't wait to see how this show plays out.
Matty:I feel like this is going to play out for weeks and weeks and months.
Megan O:Well, let me tell you.
Matty:Netflix.
Megan O:New facts just came out again about this crypto torture. Came out again about this crypto torture. Allegedly now two NYPD detectives are on leave or modified duty because they used to work security at this townhouse, and allegedly one of these NYPD detectives picked this Michael guy, the Italian millionaire, up at the airport and brought him to that Soho townhouse, and that detective previously served as a member of Mayor Eric Adams' security detail. So this is like getting very interesting.
Matty:How is it like? All things aside, how is your stock doing? You mean my crypto, yes, oh, bitcoin, oh, is it not stock?
Megan O:Bitcoin is over $100,000 for one Bitcoin.
Matty:Oh my God, I love that for you.
Megan O:Well, I don't own a whole Bitcoin. I feel like this is just, I've got some Bitcoin.
JJ:I have a question for you.
Matty:Yes.
JJ:Now that you say this and again, I'm bringing in Bravo, because anything that Bravo. If you were a Bravo producer and you see this story out, do you want to bring that in into Next Gen?
Megan O:Oh.
JJ:I think Bravo is like giddy that they've got this tie-in.
Matty:I think they're orgasming.
Megan O:Charlie, like it's questionable to me, this man's held for 17 days in this known party house with people coming and going Like who was in and out of that house in those 17 days. That's what I'm interested in, and this Charlie is on the scene as this guy's getting arrested.
Matty:Let's name some names.
Megan O:Like I question was he part of this torture? He's not considered a suspect, though.
JJ:He's not considered a suspect and he's not, they're not giving, they're not charging him for anything at the moment.
Matty:Well, it'll be interesting to see what plays out, oh, to be a fly on the wall. I mean this party kid since he's 14.
Megan O:That's crazy. Yeah Well, New York kids get out and about.
Matty:Oh, that seems general.
Megan O:Well, anyway, so this hot topic was a hot topic for me and I was following it like no tomorrow, I think the best way to follow that hot topic is, with some slip it ins and pull out.
Matty:No, not quite yet. No, we're going to slip it in, we're going to pull it out, we're going to do a little product reveal. Oh, that's true.
JJ:Yeah, we had a product for today.
Matty:Yes, we do. Have you guys heard of Jocko Fuel? Yes, I know you have. Well, I heard it because you brought it to my attention.
JJ:Yeah, this, jaco let's be real never followed.
Megan O:Well, let's be real, I had you or willian I don't know how you pronounce his name that is always our challenge.
Matty:We don't know the pronounce, but here's what I did like I discovered, uh, energy drink. Here's the. I'll be really transparent. Like I've had some heart issues, my cardiologist said like you have to stop with the energy drinks, and so I did. However, I discovered an all-natural drink. It's called Jocko Fuel. It's Jocko Willink, as Megan was saying. He's a former Navy SEAL. He's basically built a brand around discipline and grit and just getting after it. He's led combat missions, he's written books on leadership and now he's turned that intensity into a line of clean energy drinks.
Matty:So in my mind, I'm like okay, I can no longer do. These energy drinks that are filled with like things are bad for my heart. This is all natural. I'm going to give it a try. It's like no sugar, no artificial ingredients. You don't have like a crash that sometimes people will talk about. It's just like you're supposed to feel focused. You have steady energy, and so I put it to the test.
Matty:I drank it earlier this week and I have to say personally for me, I had a good experience with it. It tasted somewhat sweet, which I am accustomed to for an energy drink. Right, like I think that's like part of the deal right? Usually, yes, yeah, I think it's part of the deal. So if you're gonna, if you want energy and you're not a sweet fan, like I guess energy drinks aren't for you, but I I expected that I will say throughout the day it was a Tuesday, I was a full work day for me. I did feel like focused, dialed in and ready to tackle the day. So I didn't love the taste. I didn't hate the taste. I was expecting of the taste. It delivered on what I thought it could deliver and for me it was a good alternative to an energy drink that otherwise was not going to be good for my body.
JJ:But I'm an opinion of one. Yeah, go ahead, okay. No, I have a question. Yeah, okay, okay, I went to go first. Go for it. Questions yeah, okay, okay, jj can go first. As you wrap up that, what rating would you give it?
Matty:on a scale of 1 to 10? Great question. I would probably like I don't know I would like a seven I guess, I would like. That's impressive. I don't know that, I. But again I don't know that I've had a drink that I would give a tan to okay, because I it's hard to get correct. I don't know how to compare it also because, like you, you I don't know when you're feeling the feels that you feel how like, do I attribute it to this or do I attribute it to that?
Megan O:but like, I had a great reaction to it and I don't think everyone did so, I'm gonna invite some other I'll make it had a question well, you say it's all natural and good for you, but it doesn't have a ton of caffeine in it and I wouldn't does it I thought it did is the question does it have a lot of caffeine in it?
Matty:And I wouldn't think Does it have. I thought it did. Is the question does it have a lot of caffeine in it? I think it's natural caffeine, I think. Hold on Listen.
Megan O:I'm not a. All caffeine is natural.
Matty:Okay, listen, I'm not in a lab. It can be all natural caffeine I didn't taste. Test it in a lab. Okay, well, all right, I do think and listeners check me on this but I do think there is such a thing as natural caffeine and simulates. Is that the right word? How about infused caffeine? But I do because there's certain plants and herbs. I believe.
Megan O:Okay, well, I'll be quiet then. Yeah, I think let's research that from the top Okay.
Matty:Well, I'm a lover of caffeine, fyi Okay.
Megan O:Well for me. I took a sip and it is too sweet for me. I typically can't drink an energy drink. They're too sweet, but across the board energy drinks are for you. Well, Red Bull and vodka, I'll have it Okay well, girl, girl, this is not what this is.
Matty:Girl, this is not what this is.
Megan O:Well, I get it.
Matty:So it was a little too sweet and I couldn't have drank a whole can Red Bull and vodka on a Tuesday morning to try to get through the workday is a whole different story and topic.
Megan O:Well, I'm not red bull and vodka on a Tuesday in the morning.
Matty:Well, you brought it to the table.
JJ:It's five o'clock somewhere. So on a scale of one to ten Megan. What would you give?
Matty:it Only taste because you can't speak. It's a 1 it's too sweet. I can't drink it honestly, but honestly that's how it is for most of these energy drinks. I think any feedback is good feedback.
Megan O:Well, another feedback, I'll say, is I do like the fact that it doesn't contain taurine like most other energy drinks, because taurine, all these, like the fact that it doesn't contain taurine like most other energy drinks, because taurine. All these recent studies show that it's bad for you.
Matty:Well, I think exactly for that reason is why my cardiologist said stop with the other oh, like I won't name that, oh well, you're gonna name them. I wasn't gonna bring up, I wasn't gonna drag them through the mud.
Megan O:But no, I'm not. You might have a vested interest. Okay, through the mud all right, all right.
JJ:First crypto, now celsius stock gotta slip in my review on this. Okay, please. Energy drink, because I do use energy drinks, um, I would say probably two, three times a week. I I don't do pre-workout when I go work out, so I just do an energy drink. So I'm kind of somewhat familiar with an energy drink and I was curious to see what this energy drink was. And that's just probably the reason why, intentionally, I just kind of wanted to skip this segment. Now I get it now.
JJ:Yeah, because I just didn't want to go into the review because, as Maddie told us to, I review this. I tried it this morning as I was going on my way to a work event and immediately I texted Maddie and said this is very sweet. So I agree with you, this is even sweeter. And I know that energy drinks are sweet, but this was at a different level, um, and in that that. But that didn't even stop me from consuming, consuming and drinking the whole thing, because I wanted to get the full-on experience and I want to give an honest, right review. Um, I had about an hour drive into my work event. As soon as I sat down, my stomach gave me the first review.
Megan O:You drank the whole, thing, I did.
Matty:My stomach gave me the first review.
JJ:Yeah, it gave me a sign that you know things needed to come out In liquid form, in very liquid form, and I can say and testify now that since 9.30 am this morning I've been feeling cramps and not feeling well after I finished this energy drink that I don't think did anything to me I honestly I feel bad. I do have to say that the can is nice, it's feels, it's, it's appealing, it's a good design.
Matty:I just didn't do it what about the person behind it? Like you, gotta appreciate the fact yeah, like I love a person that is just like got a really intriguing background and uses like part of his personal branding to extend that into something that is meaningful, like yeah I mean it's not gonna be for everyone right like for me. I enjoyed it for megan, it was a taste. For you it was a full-on shit show.
JJ:It was a full-on experience which I'm still suffering from it a little bit.
Matty:Right and I feel bad, but any feedback's good feedback.
JJ:And also I was committed to the review.
Matty:You were.
Megan O:I love that.
JJ:I took that first sip and continued to drink. And again, kudos to the um, the one that created this drink. I like the idea of having everything natural which there's really not much out there.
Matty:Well, it gives me, like people like me, me and people like me an alternative option, which is great, because you know like I want.
JJ:I want energy. Yeah, and if you, if you're wondering, like what, on a scale of one to ten, what?
Matty:yeah, what I give. Oh, we were on our. We were on the edge of our seat. I'm sure I will give it a 0.5 oh wow, that's all right. Sorry, jackal, but like I said, any feedback, it's good feedback, like, take it into consideration.
Megan O:Well, on that note, I think it's some time for some slip it in to pull it out.
JJ:I agree, I'm ready for that.
Megan O:Well, for me, my slip it in is there's a lot of construction going on in my neighborhood, so I have to, like take a different route that takes me through the town in order to get out to the freeway. And there is an old enterprise that has moved out and they've, like, are trying to release it. So they've painted it all up and took all the branding off of the building and it looks nice. It looks like a cute little building. Well, little did I know. The other day well I should say a month ago, all of a sudden had all this like graffiti on it. Oh then, a few days later it gets painted over. I'm like, okay, it's back to the cute little building. Then graffiti again. And I've been monitoring.
JJ:Are they gonna just leave it?
Megan O:yeah, are they gonna leave this graffiti up? What are they going to do? Nope, today it got painted over, so now I'm just like, oh, I cannot wait when I have to leave to go to work the next day, like what's going to happen? Is this graffiti going to be back or is it going to stay as a clean cute?
JJ:little building. For a while Is it like a? It's a nice graffiti art.
Megan O:Well, I mean some people could say it looks like a man with a cock in his mouth or a man getting shot in the head? I don't know, I'll leave it up to the viewer's interpretation.
Matty:Oh my God, we have a photo. I've got a photo of it.
Megan O:And we'll see if it comes back.
Matty:So every day when I drive by the building, Can we list it as like is it A shot in the head or B cock?
Megan O:in the mouth. I don't know what it is. Let's see what the audience Okay.
Megan O:I love it. Please message us, let us know what you think we want to hear from you. So that's just like a little gives me a little joy to see what's happening with this building and my like kind of delayed route to get out to the freeway. Now my pull it out was going to be a pull it out and slip it in, but it's changed to just appear pull it out. So I'm a fan of Starbucks and when I have to go into the office and the days I go in the office I usually start stop at Starbucks on my way into work and I was a big fan of their reward program and I loved it. Well, as part of the new year, they were like oh, we're going to not do the same rewards, we're going to have less rewards. So all of a sudden I stopped getting reward options and instead I get these writings on my coffee mugs like oh, I've heard.
Matty:Oh, like a girl.
Megan O:It's going to be a great day, and I don't need anything about like bro.
Matty:Probably have a great day. Sometimes it's high.
Megan O:Sometimes it's a smiley face. And then when you're waiting and they're making it and you see that they take, you know, a minute to write stuff and I'm like I don't need it, I'd rather just have my drinks and I'd rather have the reward. I'd rather order three coffees and get my reward. So why do you need three?
Matty:coffee. Well, I'm just saying like if you get three drinks, you'll get a hundred rewards, different points.
Megan O:So if you're a reward member, like yeah. If you're a reward member, like yeah, or buy these five items and you'll get 100 points. They call them stars. So anyway, in April I was all excited because I got some reward points. Like I got challenges and I did them all and I was so happy. I'm like the rewards are back. Well, since April I've had nothing. So it's just back to these stupid little messages on my cup. I don't want them. I don't want them. I don't need them. Just give me back real rewards.
JJ:I support that.
Matty:I don't drink coffee.
JJ:You do, I don't Same thing.
Matty:Yes, it is. Why is there a separate word for it?
Megan O:Coffee is the overreaching word.
Matty:Espresso is a specific coffee drink. Is it one of those situations where all of these are this, but not all of those are that?
JJ:Yeah, they're all coffee and also you get your espresso, martinis All right, everyone Calm down, write shit on my cup then.
JJ:Write it on, go for it. Jj. Oh, so my slip and end. It is um survivors season 50 cast. We've been a fan of survivor for the longest time and um, they, they've cast for the 50th season, which is crazy to think about, like it's been 25 years since this amazing show. Um, you know, it started on our tvs and I'm I I got very excited to know and see, yeah, who the cast members of the season 50 is. Um, some of my favorites are there Ozzy is there, camila and Kyle from the last season. They're going to join back in.
Matty:I have strong opinions on this. I'm sure have you seen it exploding the people that didn't get picked, they are coming.
Megan O:Is Boston Rob on? No, I love.
Matty:Boston Rob, they are fucking coming for for jeff probes, like if you're, if you're not, a survivor fan. Sorry about your luck, but there are 700 contestants and obviously 650 didn't make it and they are a lot. Of.
JJ:Them are like being very vocal, so this could be a future top they did say that they they went in from 700 to 200 yeah and then it was like a very you know kind of a process to try to get into the 25 contestants 50 no, you're right 25, 50 and then 25 25 right and they said it was brutal. That's what they said, yeah yeah, but even if's brutal, they're really opening even two spaces for cast members for season 49.
Matty:I agree, jj, and you took three from 48. Yeah, okay, neither there nor there.
JJ:But I'm excited.
Matty:Right, it's a slip it in, so I'm excited about 50 survivor.
JJ:Yeah, my pull it out is a, a product or a service. Um, that amazon got rid of kind of similar to megan with the starbucks that I loved so much. Amazon used to have the try before you buy feature. Have you any of you tried it?
Matty:no but I've heard you rave about it and, and I've seen it and I just thought well, I can return, anyway, I'll just buy it and return. I kind of agree with you Like I felt like I was doing it anyway.
JJ:I just liked it, Like the non-transactional process of not being charged.
Matty:Like it didn't hit your account and then take it away. No, it was like seven days.
JJ:You, you can try it. That allowed me to wear it. Wear a little cute crochet tank top that I wanted to get for that weekend, and then, if I didn't like it, I just like return it within seven days.
Megan O:Well, that's why they stopped the program because, people were returning dirty clothes, somebody abused it.
JJ:I was very, I was very upset about it.
Matty:I think equally, Amazon is like here's our pull it out. Probably Exactly.
JJ:Probably. Even like I remember one day, like one of our friends, her 40th birthday was coming up and the theme was snow bunnies and I'm like I'm going to get try before you buy. Very expensive, it was almost $300 bunny suit.
Matty:Oh wow, I'm not going to pay for it. But I'm not going to pay for it because I'm not just going to be a bunny for the Friday I get it and I'm not going to use it again. This is all the reasons why this has been discontinued Because people were returning dirty bunny outfits yeah, exactly, but it was perfect.
JJ:But I'm upset that you know Amazon doesn't have that anymore, so I'm listening to you listening. Please bring it back.
Matty:I kind of feel like you're part of the reason.
JJ:Bring it back, got it.
Megan O:We're here to empathize, okay.
Matty:For me.
Matty:I don't know why it always comes back to poop and birds, oh my God but like this is coincidental, but here's the thing I heard a story about penguins saving the ecosystem like saving the world. It turns out that every time a penguin which I love, these little, like little tuxedo birds, they, every time they take a dump, it's doing more for the planet than most of us are doing when we try to recycle like a, like a bag, tote bag or a grocery bag or anything like that. So this poop, it feeds the ecosystem little, it takes little fuels and it takes them. In these little organisms it's helping the climate take action straight from the back end of a bird into a tux and it's stuck.
Megan O:This makes no sense to me. I tried to follow up. And this is a, slip it in you just like pick one poop because it does something, but you can't tell us what it does.
Matty:Here's my takeaway when a penguin poops, the emissions from the poop are helping the ecosystem. Tiny poop by tiny poop.
Megan O:It helps it in the snowy weather in like the glacier area where they live. Like I don't get what it's doing.
Matty:I'm going to have to ask you to Google. It's just slip it in this is not a real no.
Megan O:How did?
Matty:this happen. This is stupid. I was watching the early morning news and they said turns out the penguins may save the planet.
JJ:You should have started with that.
Matty:I did, I thought I did. I was also brushing my teeth and getting ready for work.
Megan O:I think you missed how it saves the planet. A few details were missed.
Matty:But hold on, they had me at penguin saves the planet, because I love a bird, I love a little those penguins Like come on, they're cute.
Megan O:But I went Like I would meal prep. Well, I went to the Monterey Aquarium and all they were doing is fucking in the corner.
Matty:I love that it's not about you, I'm just saying.
Megan O:Everyone had to, like they were trying to get their kids away. There was a whole school, children right up front.
Matty:Maybe that should have been my pull-out. It was probably mating season.
Megan O:It was after breakfast and apparently that's when they get it on. That's what the honorary aquarium workers told us oh, they had it on. Okay, oh my, that's what the honorary aquarium workers told us.
Matty:Oh, they had an answer Well they had to address it Early morning penguin sexual activity. There was multiple couples going on, it was not just a one Were they naked in front of a pool?
Megan O:Well, those tuxedos were still on. They were still on. I can't with this.
Matty:Okay, so here's my bullet out, also related to poop. This literally happened to me this week and it's happened to me several times and I hope you all there can relate. My trash day pickup is Monday. I put my trash out on Sundays. However, people walk their dogs on every single day. I'm okay with you picking your dog's poop up and throwing it in my trash container. Day it is for your trash in my trash bin. I'm not a fan Like. Stop throwing your dog's shit in my trash. Do you guys have this in my trash can yeah?
Matty:Like I go to. I go to pull my trash cans back to my garage after they've picked up and what do I find? A little green bag full of dog shit and that's got to sit. And I don't have a dog right now. I have that dog shit in my container for a week. You thought it stunk bad on Tuesday, like what am I supposed to do with it?
Megan O:No, I think that's wrong. It's so disrespectful.
Matty:Yeah, and they're walking their dog and they're picking their dog.
Megan O:But is it happening consistently?
Matty:This is the third. Well, I think you've got one.
Megan O:I mean, that sounds like one person's, like zeroed in on you.
JJ:Yeah Well, I think it's a case for you to just check your ring cam ring cam.
Matty:Yeah, maybe you need to monitor the ring cam. Well, I think I'll have to change my distance because it's not picking up the shit, shitter, throwing it in there, that is. But we can all we can all agree, like as citizens of our communities, pick the dog shit up, put it in your purse, bring it home, throw it away in your own trash container and I'm done.
Megan O:See you. Thank you for taking us back to old school.
Matty:I promise, I promise I'll tamper my bird and my poop story. It's moving apart. Thank you, I don't know why. Why do I go?
Megan O:there. I don't get it, I don't know.
Matty:There's a personal problem. I do have to chat with my therapist about it.
Megan O:But, ok, chat with my therapist about it In the meantime, till next time, we want to hear from you, especially your hot topics. Slip into our DMs on Instagram or at slipitinpodcastcom. Email us at slipitinpodcast at gmailcom or call and text us at 313-437-1337.

JJ:Thank you.
