Cracks, Cleavage, And Common Courtesy

Watch the video version here.

Fashion just declared “butt windows” a thing, and we’re not okay. From diamond chains tracing low-rise seams to mesh panels designed for maximum exposure, we unpack why spectacle-as-style drains public goodwill. The issue isn’t prudishness; it’s consent and context. Shared spaces work when we respect each other’s attention, bandwidth, and comfort, and that includes how we dress when we’re shoulder to shoulder in a grocery line.

The rants don’t stop at hemlines. We tackle the headphone-at-Target epidemic, aisle blockers with music loud enough to shake shelves, and the FaceTime-in-the-bathroom crowd. Courtesy is simple: eyes up, volume down, make space, say excuse me. Then we head to the street, where distracted driving has gone from texting at red lights to streaming on the highway. With voice assistants and CarPlay everywhere, there’s no excuse for drifting lanes and missed greens because someone’s checking DMs. Safety, not scrolling, should steer.

We also get into the quiet stuff: backing into parking spots like it’s a NASCAR pit stop, mumbling service in loud rooms, and the chaos that comes from pretending grammar doesn’t matter. Small choices—clear words, modest layers, a held door—add up to a better day for everyone. And yes, there’s levity too: birthday week joy, food we won’t stop talking about, and running jokes that keep the family grounded.

If you’re craving a conversation that’s spicy, funny, and unflinchingly honest about modern manners, hit play. Then tell us: which everyday behavior drives you wild, and what simple fix would restore your faith in people?

Butt-Crack Fashion Takes Center Stage

SPEAKER_03 0:00

So, what's terrible this week for everyone?

SPEAKER_02 0:02

Mom's music taste, I'm getting. Jeez. I'm getting it. Wow.

SPEAKER_04 0:07

Really? Really? Because a lot of the stuff that you like was inspired by my generation's music. So get out of here.

SPEAKER_03 0:13

And a lot of the stuff that Calvin and Jackson like sounds like a butt crack.

SPEAKER_00 0:17

Ooh.

SPEAKER_04 0:18

Butt cracks. Ass cracks.

SPEAKER_03 0:20

No.

SPEAKER_04 0:21

Let's talk about that.

SPEAKER_03 0:22

Why? Butt cracks.

SPEAKER_04 0:24

Because the internet is talking about butt cracks.

SPEAKER_03 0:28

They are?

SPEAKER_04 0:29

It is the 2026 fashion trends after the Golden Globes. Apparently, that is what Vogue is saying.

SPEAKER_01 0:37

There was Wait a minute, you're showing me Vogue. You did a story on butt cracks.

SPEAKER_04 0:41

Yes, dear. Yes, dear.

SPEAKER_03 0:43

As if women weren't already showing enough of their bodies.

SPEAKER_04 0:46

Not just women, my dear.

SPEAKER_03 0:47

Wait, into butt cracks.

SPEAKER_04 0:49

For all people. For all people. You gotta be kidding me.

SPEAKER_02 0:52

I don't know which worse is a woman's butt or it's all bad, dude.

SPEAKER_01 0:57

It's all bad. But personally, I hate that. That's why I always prefer sitting in the back. Because I'm always worried my pants aren't cold.

SPEAKER_04 1:05

Who wants to feel a breeze back then?

SPEAKER_03 1:07

Oh, and I hate seats that you sit down on and the back is open.

SPEAKER_00 1:12

Just this space right here.

SPEAKER_03 1:14

I won't do it. I don't want people to see my butt crack, and I don't understand why that's a fashion.

SPEAKER_04 1:19

And you know what? Even more than that, I don't want to see anyone's. Anyone's. Adam Driver can walk through that door. I do not want to see his butt crack. Why? No one! No one.

SPEAKER_03 1:32

He doesn't have that big of a butt crack because he's kind of flat ass.

SPEAKER_04 1:36

People that I think are attractive. I don't, I don't want to see your butt crack. That is not your most interesting feature.

SPEAKER_02 1:42

I'm sorry. It's it's the worst when they don't even notice it.

SPEAKER_04 1:47

Oh, that is the unintentional laugh.

SPEAKER_02 1:50

Like that one dude at the mall that we saw. Oh. It's usually dudes. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 1:55

How do you not feel that? Do you not feel the breeze?

SPEAKER_03 1:57

Or they don't, they just don't care. Honestly, now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen a girl like with butt cleavage ever. Even no matter how low her pants are.

SPEAKER_04 2:10

It's true. You usually see the thong. Yeah. That's been a thing.

SPEAKER_03 2:14

But Because who wants to see butt cleavage? Like, what if they were not thorough with their wiping that day?

SPEAKER_04 2:20

So here's, and this is what I've seen a lot of people saying. A lot of people are upset about this, but there was one actress in particular who I'm not familiar with, Tiana. I can't remember her name, sorry. But she wore this dress to the Golden Globes and Gol Golden Golden Globes.

SPEAKER_01 2:36

Oh man, that was a double misspeak. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 2:39

Because he tried to call her out and misspoke at the same time.

SPEAKER_01 2:42

Write it down.

SPEAKER_04 2:44

Golden Globes.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

There we go. We said it together.

SPEAKER_04 2:47

What did she do with her butt crack? She wore this extremely low-cut dress, and then she had this string of diamonds that literally went down her crack. And that and she she was quoted as saying her crack is covered in diamonds. And so, yeah, so now this is like a fashion trend where there's gonna be low-cut jeans, there's gonna be a lot of like pants or shirts with like mesh material that's going to allow. It's it's a I heard one dude describe it as a butt window. And I I mean that's that's what the fashion is gonna be for this year. And I just again who who is 2025 was bad enough.

SPEAKER_03 3:27

Who's deciding already starting to off on 2026 trying to make it a worse year with butt cleavage? That is crazy.

Pet Peeves: Setting The Ground Rules

SPEAKER_01 3:35

Regular cleavage is bad enough. Do we really have to go down there to the butt? I mean, why not just walk around naked at this point? I'm Josh. I'm Rachel. I'm Calvin.

SPEAKER_03 3:47

I'm Jackson. And this is relatively terrible. I love you, but you're all terrible.

SPEAKER_04 3:52

So, speaking of things that are terrible, we thought it might be a fun discussion to just talk about pet peeves this week.

SPEAKER_03 3:59

And if you don't know what a pet peeve is, it's something you hate. Google it. Take time right now. It's something you hate. Pause the podcast and Google it because I know like words are escaping people's brains these days. But it's something that grinds your gears.

SPEAKER_04 4:13

Yes, I think of that old that family guy episode where Peter does the whole what you know what really grinds my gears? And that's that's sort of where what the inspiration for this was.

SPEAKER_03 4:23

I will say, I know that we have a lot of them. A lot, like you cannot believe we won't get to all of them here.

SPEAKER_04 4:31

They'll come out over the course of time.

SPEAKER_03 4:34

That's gross. But I think we should go one at a time and see how many we can get through in this 45-minute to an hour podcast. Okay. I'll go first. Well, that's great. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 4:49

Okay, so this is a newer one. Oh. Uh, it's kids my age walking around in Target or Walmart or wherever, wearing headphones and listening to music. That is just so rude, in my opinion. And like, you can't be social for 20, 30 minutes.

SPEAKER_01 5:09

You know what's even worse when they have headphones on and they have a tablet in front of them. I've seen that once or twice. It's it's terrible. It's annoying, and it's even worse. It's worse when they're older, but even when they're little kids, what are parents thinking? I get it, it's well, I don't get it. I'm not a parent, okay. But you're setting them up for failure when you're constantly giving them a tablet, and I see it all the time, especially when it's a who's that annoying woman for the little children? Miss Rachel. Miss Rachel. I swear to God, there's gonna be a documentary one day on how she ruins so many children.

SPEAKER_03 5:51

When Miss Rachel has a scandal, what will it be? Go. It's gonna be something with children. I'm telling you. It's gonna be a scheme. Rach, what's Miss Rachel's scandal gonna be?

SPEAKER_04 6:00

Oh, she's probably got kids locked in her basement or something. Oh!

SPEAKER_01 6:05

Off the handle, the Miss Rachel scandal. Boom!

SPEAKER_02 6:09

Got it. Or she's gonna get crabbed.

SPEAKER_03 6:12

I think she's going to have a sex tape come out.

SPEAKER_04 6:16

Oh! Oh clean it! Miss Rachel goes out of the phone cleanage. Can you imagine yourself?

SPEAKER_01 6:22

Yeah, you can do it. Put it right here.

SPEAKER_03 6:25

I think it's gonna be discovered that she has an OnlyFans. And she's had it for years. Oh no. And she does the same thing she does on her toddler programs, just naked.

SPEAKER_02 6:36

No.

SPEAKER_04 6:38

That is deeply disturbing.

SPEAKER_01 6:39

Honestly, worse stuff has happened in our society. So Okay, back to the headphones. Back to the headphones. I Go ahead. I think we're gonna say the same thing. Good.

SPEAKER_04 6:48

We're probably gonna say the same thing. I understand the headphones for certain folks who, if you're on the spectrum or if you're sensitive to loud noise.

SPEAKER_03 6:56

People are wearing headphones sometimes because they need it. Teenagers have seen that as a way in to just wear headphones. It's it's also this is kind of connected, but people who drive and wear earbuds, that's so dangerous. Or looking down at their phone. Oh, hold on, hold on. Let's not get to that one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:17

But I think the headphones, I think if you're using them as like noise canceling, and and that is different than I'm 14 years old, I'm going to Target with mom, and I gotta have my music blasting because I just I don't want to be here. And so I'm trying to disengage with my surroundings.

SPEAKER_03 7:35

And the parents don't say anything because I'm gonna keep harping on this because I actually had a comment on TikTok that said, you don't understand how parents work nowadays. And what I thought was, no, parents don't understand how they're supposed to work nowadays. Yes, because when they see the headphones on, they see it as an opportunity where they don't have to engage with this kid, and they're like, Oh, they're cool, they're being quiet, they have the headphones on, and I think that's this the most sickening part of it. But yeah, I I I agree with I agree with you. It it is very, very annoying. It's okay to be bored, it's okay to go out and have social interaction, it's okay to make eye contact and have a conversation. You don't need your headphones 24-7.

Courtesy Collapses: Phones, Aisles, And Awareness

SPEAKER_04 8:22

Life is not always entertaining, and you know, like you guys both said, I think number one, they're setting these kids up for failure. And I think number two, it's extremely rude. I mean, I was at Target the other week. I'm in an aisle, there's a lady with earbuds in, her music is so loud I can hear it. There was another lady who wanted to come down the aisle, the lady with the earbuds is in the way. I ended up moving to allow her to pass.

SPEAKER_03 8:49

Sorry, oh my god. No, no, keep going.

SPEAKER_04 8:52

Because the lady with the earbuds did not recognize anything that was going on around her.

SPEAKER_03 8:57

Right. And they expect you, just like anyone in a situation like that, they expect you to just move so they don't get hurt.

SPEAKER_04 9:03

Exactly. Talk about rude. What is happening over here?

SPEAKER_03 9:07

You know what else is rude? Look at that sock. See? Let's move on. This is a Rachel. I want you to go next.

SPEAKER_04 9:17

So, sticking with the fashion trend, I'm just gonna say it. You can at me, let's have a conversation.

SPEAKER_03 9:25

At RECooper84 on Instagram.

SPEAKER_04 9:29

But leggings are not pants. And I should be able to walk around Target and walk behind you at Target and not become intimately familiar with the color, size, and shape of the underwear that you are wearing.

SPEAKER_03 9:44

Or not wearing it.

SPEAKER_04 9:47

It is I'm all for like dress for comfort. Your style is you. I'm all for that. I'm all for like not dressing for other people.

SPEAKER_01 9:57

Is that really comfort though? Because those leggings look like they just freaking like it.

SPEAKER_04 10:03

I understand the appeal of leggings, but they were originally designed with a purpose for exercise, not for going to Target and other places. Cover your ass, invest in a full-length mirror, and turn around in it. Even if I can't see your underwear, like seeing the lines and seeing that just suctioned onto your ass. I I dress for you, but I don't want to become intimately familiar with your private areas. Cover that shit up. I don't want to see it. You are not at home, you are out in public. And as a mother of sons, as a mother of teenage boys, I don't want my children looking at your ass. Cover it up.

SPEAKER_03 10:56

The other thing that I hate is people wear these leggings in the same tone as their skin color. The color is the same as the color. The skin color. Oh my god, just looked at that person.

Driving On Phones And Public FaceTime

SPEAKER_01 11:11

Oh, they're wearing as bad as wearing body paint, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_04 11:15

It's basically the same thing.

SPEAKER_03 11:17

Yeah, you know that wears body paint.

SPEAKER_04 11:19

But his point is like shut up, Calvin. No, but a lot of these leggings, like if I can make out your cellulite through your leggings. These are not appropriate to be wearing.

SPEAKER_03 11:31

Explain to your son what cellulite is.

SPEAKER_04 11:33

Uh, it's fat deposits in your, you know, in your in your skin, under your skin. Like your stretch marks and stuff on cellulite. Like, if I can make that out, these are this is not. And again, I don't I don't care about like how attractive it is or isn't. I will still say I don't think anyone looks good in leggings. I don't care who you are. But attractiveness aside, there's something to be said for modesty, and I don't care. I am so sick of being told that you know women should be able to just wear whatever they want. You can't. You you find me a man walking around Target in bike shorts with a bulge and tell me as a woman that that's not offensive to you. That would be offensive to me.

SPEAKER_03 12:18

I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_04 12:19

And in the same way, I find it offensive having to look at your ass and your camel toe when you're wearing these leggings out in public.

SPEAKER_03 12:26

I'm telling you, I have not figured it out yet, but we need to figure out how to make nut cleavage a thing and go to a target just as a social experiment with your balls hanging out. No, with this, this your balls are pressed in such a way that they look like a brain, and you can see the center of the brain, and that's your nut cleavage. And make that a thing and see if everyone's cool with the Does anyone remember the movie Waiting?

SPEAKER_04 12:55

Like that's all I could think of the movie Waiting.

SPEAKER_03 12:59

When your skin is taut on your balls and your balls are together, it looks like a brain. So that's what nut cleavage would look like. I think we should make it happen.

SPEAKER_04 13:07

We I mean I You can do that alone.

SPEAKER_03 13:10

Yeah. Yeah, that's fine. I just want to figure out what the thing is.

SPEAKER_04 13:13

Women would find that offensive. They would consider that to be harassment, and I would agree with you. But women are creating harassment. They are creating hostile environments.

SPEAKER_03 13:22

They're doesn't harassment have to happen with your ass?

SPEAKER_04 13:26

Leggings.

SPEAKER_03 13:27

Right, but I mean with my balls, those would be my balls, so it would be harassment. What balls?

SPEAKER_04 13:32

Call it whatever you want. It it would be, it would, it would cause major problems, and rightly so. I don't want to see that either. Um But women need to women need to get it together. And we need to stop this bullshit about we're only dressing for ourselves and it doesn't matter, and men need to control them. Take men even out of it. I don't want to see it.

SPEAKER_03 13:54

Before you have a stroke.

SPEAKER_04 13:55

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 13:56

Can we move on? Can I you want to go or you want me to go? I'll go. Go for it.

SPEAKER_01 14:01

Yeah. Uh this kind of goes back to Calvin's thing with uh, you know, people having headphones on and looking down at their phones.

SPEAKER_02 14:08

But when people run into me because they're not that one lady at Target was Target.

SPEAKER_01 14:15

She was like, and then they act like you're the Look Up!

SPEAKER_04 14:20

Right there. I mean, you're like six foot three. How are you missing? Very hard to miss.

SPEAKER_03 14:26

We are all six foot plus. Six seven! And over 200 pounds each. We are big dudes. We are forces of nature walking towards you.

SPEAKER_04 14:36

If you walk into them, you're getting hurt.

SPEAKER_03 14:38

If you have your head in your phone, I am walking straight. I'm not stopping, I'm letting whatever happens happen. Okay? This was definitely on my list. It's a good one. Go ahead, Jax.

SPEAKER_01 14:50

That's it. That's pretty much it.

Backing Into Parking Spots Gone Wrong

SPEAKER_03 14:52

Like, but hold on. It taught it it it speaks to a bigger problem, which is no one has common courtesy anymore. No, especially the people that should, the employees at the store or the restaurant or wherever you're at, employees do not have common courtesy for the patrons of the place that they're at. And it sucks. And why can't we hold the door for one another? Why can't we say, excuse me? Why can't we let someone go in front of us? Why are we the important ones? Yeah see, that's where that's where our focus on Christ comes in here, just in our lives, because we are Christians. It's not about us. Yeah. And the world teaches you completely different. It is about you, it is about your individual experience. And that's why that woman, looking down at her phone, when she almost careened into us, she looks up and looks like we're the problem. Yeah. I'm like, I just don't know.

SPEAKER_04 15:45

And I think this is this is like the the reason behind all of these things we've mentioned. You know, women don't care that, you know, other people have to look at their ass. And kids are not being taught that like you need to be able to enter a public space and engage with what's going on around you because the adults around them can't do it either. It's all about me and what I want. So I should be able to address what I how I want, I should be able to go where I want and do what I want and not have to consider other people around me. And that is really the main issue here.

SPEAKER_01 16:20

I wish we could go back to the COVID days, like six feet apart, people. Give me some space.

SPEAKER_04 16:25

But I think that also has contributed to some of what we're seeing here. Oh, sure. Because I think, especially maybe for kids even younger than you, when they should have been in school and been forced more or less into more normal interactions with people. You know, some of these kids were kept home for a few years, and so everything got stifled. And so now there's sort of like this warped sense of um views of like what social interaction means. And I also think we've taken the introversion thing. I'm an introvert, but I think we've taken it too far.

Speak Up: Quiet Service And Mumbled Talk

SPEAKER_03 17:02

Don't you think it can be sometimes an excuse though? Right. Like, especially like homeschool kids or the pandemic, you know, well, they're just not that social because of this, this, and this. And it's like, and then they hear that, and then it makes them that way. And then they use the they're like, well, I'm gonna put my headphones on because I'm not that social. I might have some autism.

SPEAKER_04 17:24

And the problem with all of that is gonna be back to Jackson's point earlier, you're doing your kids a disservice because you you know, the point one of the goals of parenting is to raise kids who are going to become functional functioning members of society. How are you going to get a job and work anywhere when you can't focus on anything, when you need to, you know, live in a bubble, when you can't interact with people, when you can't learn how to take instructions.

Chewing Loud, Rewatching Shows, And Grammar

SPEAKER_03 17:54

Well, look around when you're at Target now or you're at Walmart and there's a Look at that kid at Buffalo Wild Wings yesterday. Well, wait, yes, but hold on, but hold on. What I was gonna say was watch the employees as soon as they got two seconds, they've got their phone out and they're on it doing what? Why do you you're at work? That's what's supposed to fill your time. It's okay to be bored, and and this kind of works into the thing that I was gonna say first, which is our phones. And my major beef is phone in the hand while you're driving a car. What in the heck, heckity, heck, heck, heck are you doing? You're supposed to be driving and you're on your phone. It used to be driving and texting. Now you can see people like that, they've got their hand up here and they're like this. Oh yeah. And the car is swerving around the road. What are you doing? I've always said this, and maybe this makes me a dick, but we are social media influencers. There's a there at any certain time during the day, I have billions of notifications on my phone that I could allow to fill up my time and actually need to scroll while I'm driving. What are you doing? What are you doing with your 10 followers on Instagram? Why can't you wait till you get home to look at Instagram? I just what is so important? Even when you're at a light, you get the phone out, and that's what makes it take 30 to 40 more seconds to get through a light because we gotta wait for the first jackass to put his phone down. And notice the light screen. I just can't believe the stuff in the car, especially on the highway. Now you've got ads on TikTok for if you don't have Apple CarPlay in your car for devices that you can put on there, you can watch movies while you're driving. No kidding, you can watch movies while you are driving. Nope. That's all who in the hell thinks they're good enough to drive like that. If you do, hit me up. Uploads of fun on Instagram, I will rip you apart and tell you why you are not and why you are part of the problem because there are so many videos on TikTok of dash cam footage that it will make you sickening of the stuff that happens when people are on their phones. Put your phone down when you're walking around a store. Put your phone down. And then I know you guys probably want to say this too, and somebody's probably gonna say this. Why are you on FaceTime in the store? Oh no, the bathroom. Anywhere! The bathroom is the worst. Why are you on FaceTime everywhere? Why?

SPEAKER_01 20:35

Especially the bathroom, though. There's no excuse there. What the heck are you talking about in the bathroom? That's that important.

SPEAKER_02 20:42

I remember one time I walked into the bathroom and there was a guy peeing in a urinal and he sat his phone on top of the urinal and there was a TikTok video playing. And I'm like, what are you doing? Pee!

SPEAKER_03 21:02

Now listen, I I will, and I always think about this, it's like 50% of our income comes from people watching videos. Right? Thank you. Thank you for that. Thank you. But if you come upon one of our videos and you're driving, please put it down.

Least Terrible: Birthdays, Food, And Family Bits

SPEAKER_04 21:19

Just put it down. I the only thing I'll say about the FaceTime is occasionally I'll see, you know, somebody in their FaceTiming, especially I saw it, I saw it recently. It was a young woman and she was FaceTime. She was obviously asking her mom, like which one of these products should I buy? Okay. But the ones that really get me are the ones who are just on speakerphone. Put it to your ear, you know, um, and talk like a normal person. I don't need to hear your conversation about whatever Diane is doing um that you don't agree with.

SPEAKER_03 21:51

Like next time I'm just gonna start moaning.

SPEAKER_00 21:53

I'm gonna just start with it.

SPEAKER_04 21:55

I'm just gonna start giving my opinion. I'm just gonna start chiming into the conversation. Inquist! Inquisophone!

SPEAKER_03 22:03

We should all just start moaning in the store now when somebody's on their phone. When they're on speaker phone, I can't Or when we see a girl who's scantily clad and it's 20 degrees out, walk past her like I did and be like, hey, can you believe it's 20 degrees out today? She's got a low-cut shirt, no sleeves, no jacket, and she's like, her makeup is fully done up.

SPEAKER_02 22:28

To go to Target! No, she's there to go behind the Starbucks and What the f and get star get Starbucks.

SPEAKER_03 22:40

Yeah. Yeah. Starbucks, yeah. Yeah, she's gonna get some Starbucks. We all know why she's gonna. She's gonna get real bucked. She's gonna get mocha. No, no, she's not, because no one wants any part of that because she Yikes. She's gonna because she's got a cold from not wearing any clothes. She they don't want that. I just I can't, I can't stand that. I think I'm gonna go next for the next round. Oh my gosh. Because I think I know something that we're all gonna say, even though Calvin's not Calvin doesn't drive.

SPEAKER_04 23:14

I know what he's gonna say, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 23:17

But one of the most major things that has just boggled my mind in 2025 and maybe a little bit before, is here we go backing into a parking spot.

SPEAKER_04 23:29

And most people can't do it. Can't do it! The the three or four times having to go forward and go back, go forward again.

SPEAKER_03 23:37

And they think they're doing this so that when they leave, they can be safe. No, nope, these people are the culprits of being the worst because they're not thinking they need to look. So they'll run you over.

SPEAKER_01 23:49

Well, it makes no sense when they're doing it at the garden store. At the grocery store. Don't you get access to your trunk to put your grocery store? Yeah, why would you do that?

SPEAKER_03 23:59

But you get out to the car. How does this work? You you go in the store, you're looking at your phone the whole time while you're shopping. You might put it down for a second when you pay, but you're looking at it while you're walking in the parking lot to your car. Yeah. You put it down for half a second to turn on the car, you're about to leave and you pick it up again, so you almost hit a family of nuns as they're walking past.

SPEAKER_04 24:24

A family of nuns.

SPEAKER_03 24:25

A family of nuns with an abandoned baby in their arms. You almost hit them. And for what? What were you looking at that was so important at me at Uploads of Fun. What you can tell me what you were looking at that was so important. We've talked about it. Wait, what did they say? It's us. No! We're not that allowed. Not allowed. The only reason you should ever be on your phone in the car is if you're in the driver's seat or passenger seat. That's cool. Be on your phone if you want.

SPEAKER_04 24:52

No, you mean the back seat, not the driver's seat.

SPEAKER_03 24:54

Oh, sorry, passenger and back seats. Yeah. You can be on your phone. But if you're driving, the only time you should be on your phone is maybe to text if your wife is in labor.

SPEAKER_04 25:04

Well, and again, you don't need to have your phone in your hand to do that. Even if you don't have Apple CarPlay or whatever, you can say, hey, Siri or whatever, and have your phone do it for you. So there's literally no reason for any of this.

SPEAKER_03 25:17

Why are we not utilizing this technology?

SPEAKER_04 25:20

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 25:21

I don't understand. And why are we backing the car in?

SPEAKER_04 25:24

Why do we think it's safer to back into the spot as opposed to backing out of the spot?

SPEAKER_03 25:29

I don't know. Just find a spot you can pull into where you can pull forward. If you really want to do it, that that would be easier because I've never seen anyone just back into the spot first time and be good. Usually they're blocking traffic, they're trying it three or four times, and then when they get out, they wonder why you were staring and taking pictures.

SPEAKER_04 25:47

Because you look stupid.

SPEAKER_03 25:48

Because you look so dumb. And it doesn't help anyone. That's my second one, and that's all I have to say about it.

SPEAKER_01 25:54

Well, uh, I'll go next. Yeah. Uh I think as a family, we're all very vocal about our opinions. And I uh What?

SPEAKER_03 26:02

Jackson, come on!

SPEAKER_01 26:03

And we speak up and we can communicate well, even when we don't make sense, we can at least hear each other and try and figure it out. I can't stand people who mumble or talk quietly or don't get their point across clearly, or you just speak up! I need you to speak up, especially I don't know if you remember this, but after my gallbladder surgery, there was a nurse, she was new, okay, fine, but she was doing an exam on me, like taking my temperature and everything, and she didn't say a word. Yeah, I remember she didn't say one word, and then I'm sitting there thinking right now. What should I be doing? Do you want my arms up, down, want me to bend over? What? Tell me something. Hey, yo, bend over. Hey, you might need a shot. Say something. You might need a shot in the ass. I can't stand oh, I can't stand it. I understand being nervous, but at least speak up and be nervous. Don't be quiet. Speak up.

SPEAKER_04 27:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:03

Yeah, that is a that's a really good one. And that was like that guy at BW3. Oh, just never said anything. You didn't even say a word to him.

SPEAKER_04 27:12

Picked up the menus and just started walking away. It was like, I guess we're following him. I I guess we're going this way.

SPEAKER_03 27:18

And if you have it's really bad when you have a waitress who will not speak up in a place that's loud. Let's say Chipotle, music's always loud, and they're behind glass, and they're like, huh? You want to? And then they're like, I said, and then they'll get mad at you. Yeah. Yeah. And I and I can't stand it because it proves that they could speak up if they would just try. Yeah. Calvin. Oh. Round two for Calvin.

SPEAKER_02 27:44

I guess people chewing with their mouths open and not closed. I'm not, you know, putting anyone out.

SPEAKER_00 27:53

What?

SPEAKER_02 27:55

Jackson, there have been times where you asshole. Alright, well, I'm good.

SPEAKER_03 28:00

Wait, what I was gonna say as soon as he said that was like, my, the table's had turned, because you used to do it too.

SPEAKER_01 28:07

Maybe you learned how to put on your socks first before you're telling me how to eat food. No.

SPEAKER_03 28:13

Jackson's got I will say, I'm gonna hold on. Jackson's gotten a lot better. Calvin's gotten a lot better. I mean, we all do it sometimes, especially when we're at home and we're just kind of chilling.

SPEAKER_00 28:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 28:25

We all do it. But you Calvin used to be the worst culprit of that. I did? Yes.

SPEAKER_04 28:33

You know, it's funny, I don't think that bothers me because I I haven't noticed.

SPEAKER_03 28:37

Oh, it doesn't, because I remember when I used to try to correct them and they would get upset and you'd be like, I didn't really see a problem with it.

SPEAKER_04 28:43

Oh, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03 28:44

It was fine. It sounded like a cow chudding on the mud.

SPEAKER_02 28:47

I was like, I know another pet peeve.

SPEAKER_01 28:50

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 28:52

You or Jackson are watching a show and you play the same episode for the 10th time. Okay. Specifically Brooklyn 99. The one about the pizza or whatever, like with the firefighters, I have seen 20 times. Stop playing that stupid ass episode.

SPEAKER_03 29:12

Well, you know what I hate, Calvin?

SPEAKER_02 29:13

When somebody doesn't want to binge the whole season in one day. What the hell, man? I'd rather read. Because you guys choose the absolute worst times to ask me. Because as soon as I sit down, I'm about to read, you guys are like, oh, you guys want to watch Better Color? So I'm like, come on, bro.

SPEAKER_03 29:29

I'm just gonna be reading mango. It's manga. I'm reading mango backwards. I'm sophisticated. Kiss my ass.

SPEAKER_02 29:38

Yeah, that's that's another pet peeve. When you guys play the exact same episode.

SPEAKER_03 29:41

Yeah, when somebody doesn't want to binge a show, I get really like I get really uh hungry.

SPEAKER_04 29:50

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 29:51

What about you, Rach? Do you have a number two? Take a number two on the ass!

SPEAKER_04 29:56

I mean, I have a lot. Um but since we are and and I want I want the Opus clip for this because I'm I'm going to share this like on my personal account.

SPEAKER_03 30:10

Opus clip, clip this.

SPEAKER_04 30:12

Um I read. I'm very I I you know I follow.

SPEAKER_03 30:18

I thought you were just horny for paper.

SPEAKER_02 30:20

I thought those books were just for display. You actually like opened them and read them? Like that? Read them? Read them? I said read them.

SPEAKER_04 30:30

You said I have read them. I have read them, but there's a couple things about people talking about books online that really irk me. But I think the number one thing that bothers me.

SPEAKER_03 30:43

I think I can guess this.

SPEAKER_04 30:44

You probably can.

SPEAKER_03 30:45

Okay, go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 30:46

Is people are gonna be, they make a reel, or they're even just in stories talking about a book, and they don't flip the video.

SPEAKER_02 30:55

I knew it. I knew it.

SPEAKER_04 30:57

Cover is backwards.

SPEAKER_02 31:00

Oh.

SPEAKER_04 31:01

I that just makes me grind my teeth. If and and there's all this debate, like especially very recently, I've seen people online arguing about, you know, if you don't show me the cover of the book and the first three seconds of the video I'm swiping, and all this. I don't care about any of that. Show the book cover, don't show the book cover. But show it correctly so that I can see it. And what I really don't understand are the publishers who are not even just sending books to these people, but they're sending them PR packages. And the people can't flip the video so that you can see the book cover. If you want to be talking about books, show the book correctly. Don't be showing it backwards. Like that seems like something that shouldn't have to be said.

SPEAKER_03 31:44

But that is probably so there's so many things that people do to social media videos to trick people into watching. I think that might be one of them. Because it makes the person who's on the other end who's not smart like you, you know, like, oh, what is this? I'm gonna done it.

SPEAKER_04 32:05

But if I I'm watching people talk about books for, you know, basically one of two reasons.

SPEAKER_03 32:10

Either That's my pet peeve, watching people talk about books.

SPEAKER_02 32:14

But I when you already have the book.

SPEAKER_04 32:18

Okay, I'm done. No, no, no, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. You guys are you gotta let us read it? Read a book. Read a friggin' book. I have.

SPEAKER_03 32:24

She said friggin'. Friggin'. Read a friggin' book. Rid a friggin' book, ma.

SPEAKER_01 32:32

Read a friggin' bick. Wait a butt. Wait a mick. Wait a minute. You need to be able to let us roach you.

SPEAKER_04 32:41

Oh, it happens all the time.

SPEAKER_03 32:43

Keep going, though. The people are wondering what you're gonna say. No, they're not. No, they're not. No, they're not. No, they're not. Listen, we're supposed to be an antiprecient pill for people. That one was like drinking cyanide. Which you should not do. Wait, what is that? Poison. Oh, okay. Should not do that. Sort of like ricin.

SPEAKER_04 33:05

Which I know you know what ricin is.

SPEAKER_02 33:07

Do go.

SPEAKER_04 33:10

I mean, I have to listen to you guys talk about breaking bad constantly. Let me talk about a book once in a while.

SPEAKER_03 33:16

Yeah, how many times has has Breaking Bad been mentioned in this podcast? I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 33:20

Somebody needs to count and let us know.

SPEAKER_02 33:22

When we when me and Jackson were going through the clips. You mean Jackson and I. Keep going. Wow.

SPEAKER_01 33:29

Damn.

SPEAKER_02 33:30

I don't think that's use your grammar. Use proper grammar ever. You know what I mean, though. So okay. Anyway, there are like so many breaking bad clips.

SPEAKER_04 33:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:44

Yeah, because I think uh that's what he wants to talk about. The reason there was is because that was part of the 2025 episode, and that was one of the things we discovered this year. I mean last year, yeah. I need to see your boss.

SPEAKER_01 33:57

I can't stand it when people text or comment or whatever with improper grammar, punctualization, whatever whatever. And don't whatever. I I knew you were gonna correct me on that. See, and that's another thing.

SPEAKER_03 34:11

He can talk like that, but he can't get a text like that. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 34:14

Well, in a text that I mean, when I s when I type it out and it's wrong, it makes it right. Auto correction makes it right. Which people don't utilize that. Yeah. And they leave it wrong, and that grinds my gears.

SPEAKER_02 34:30

See, then you would probably hate the text conversations between me and Kaboom because we text each other hello with H-E-W-O-N-C-D.

SPEAKER_04 34:43

But I mean, that's you guys do that.

SPEAKER_02 34:45

And then we type how you doing? My day good, how yours? Like, it's no, like, we it's improper grammar.

SPEAKER_03 34:53

Like. Okay, but you guys have like this friendship language. That's okay. That's different. That's different.

SPEAKER_01 34:58

It's talking about full grown ass adults on Facebook saying Tinder. No, not what the f no, not Tinder. Saying Tinder?

SPEAKER_03 35:09

What I got so confused right there. What? He just got outed on like live podcasts. No, I'm not.

SPEAKER_00 35:21

Not you.

SPEAKER_01 35:23

Get off of Tinder. What the hell?

SPEAKER_03 35:26

But a lot of times you can't even understand what they're saying because there's no comma. No. So everything runs together.

SPEAKER_04 35:32

No periods, no capitalization, no.

SPEAKER_03 35:34

Or Y-O-U-R when they should have used Y-O-U apostrophe R-E. So let's get off of all of this. Complaining. What has been the least terrible thing of your week, or something the least terrible in our family this week? I mean, I'm just gonna have to say, like celebrating your birthday.

SPEAKER_04 35:54

That's what I was gonna say.

SPEAKER_03 35:55

It was a lot of fun. And we I almost forgot it was your actual birthday because we started celebrating her birthday two days before it started. But it's her birthday.

SPEAKER_04 36:05

That's when it's your birthday. You talk about your birthday week. So I don't know why you're worried about two days.

SPEAKER_03 36:10

We're talking about you right now, so I don't even understand the point. It was a really fun time. And I loved Kokoza very good. Cocoza. We celebrate with food in this house. That is for dang sure. That's very, very interesting. I need to. Food is important too. Super good. We could know what's happening in that show right now, but we're taking it slow, I guess. Better culture.

SPEAKER_02 36:34

We're already like we're already halfway through season three. What do you mean taking it slow?

SPEAKER_04 36:38

Taking it slow that's taking it slow. That is, I mean, it's glacial. It's one of the reasons why I don't watch TV with your dad, unless it's I mean, there's very few shows that we've really truly watched together. And I actually like it, like when Severance only released one episode a week. That was good because I didn't want to, I don't like to binge. So this is one of the reasons why I've never sat down. I just I don't like to I can't. I don't have the attention span to sit there and watch three, four episodes back to back.

SPEAKER_03 37:06

But you can read 400 pages in one sitting.

SPEAKER_04 37:08

No, I do not do that.

SPEAKER_02 37:09

Yeah, sure it's like 150 now.

SPEAKER_04 37:12

I have an app that can tell you how long it takes me to read. So if you want to really want that.

SPEAKER_03 37:19

Before we start talking about books again and people start to leave the podcast, what any anything else that you guys could think of from this last week that is least terrible?

SPEAKER_02 37:30

Probably finally knowing the context of I need to see your boss. And it's boss. I know, but I like the memes.

SPEAKER_03 37:38

But they had me so confused. No, it I thought he was saying I need to see your balls.

SPEAKER_04 37:46

Now, do people even know what show you're talking about right now?

SPEAKER_03 37:50

There's a scene in it where he says, I need to see your boss. And I thought they were saying balls, and I'm like, I've seen the series twice. I've never seen anything where he says balls.

SPEAKER_04 37:59

It's a meme, though.

SPEAKER_03 38:00

But it's boss, and there's a meme where he does say balls, right? Somebody like recorded it. I need to see your balls. I need to see your balls.

SPEAKER_04 38:09

That's all Calvin is saying lately.

SPEAKER_03 38:12

And that is relatively terrible.
