this situation before. So I've been very frustrated for the
past like three days because I went out and bought
myself a new home PC.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh yeah, I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Whenever I get a new computer at the house, I
feel like, oh, my whole life's about to change. Everything's
gonna work so much much faster. Everything's going to be
organized so much better.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That being said, Yeah, my PC, the one that I
just got rid of, gotten to the point of where
it was overloaded with shit.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah that it was barely working.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
And we'd had it for like seven years, you know,
so it was just filled up with crap and whatever. So,
I mean, I've been hard at work on this where
I've been putting stuff on external hard drive, making sure
everything was saved, all that stuff, and then went out
and bought myself.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
A new PC.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
And really all we do is, you know, crap at
you know, surfing the web, and there's nothing really important
that we're doing, not like we're gaming, not like we're
watching movies on it. We don't do a lot with it.
But my wife saves a lot of pictures and things
like that. Yeah, and so things get stored on there
that you know whatever. It fills up really quick. And
so I was like, all right, well let me go
(01:52):

like I got one that I liked. Done.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
Because it anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:14):

it up this week, here we go. Okay. I don't
know about you, guys, but I fucking hate instructions that
are just pictures and no words.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I'm on that. I That's why I can't do I can't.
I can't.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
That's why I've never been. I never want step foot
into it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You're a fucking genius, you know what. I think. It's
smarter people that you need work instruction.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Look at the pictures.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Color. That's how I feel. Man, I hate those things.
But up my computer, it's pictures.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
What do you got?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
You got the tower at the.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Tower and about a monitor separately? Tower? Okay, mouse, Well,
I mean you need all those.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
The speakers on shift out on the speakers.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It comes with like sneakers.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Are on the monitor.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
They're like a load. Yeah, my god, guys, that's not
what this is about.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
We have a lot of questions.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Sorry, sorry, you know who doesn't have these questions?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
John?
Speaker 7 (08:32):
You know?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Okay, So anyway, setting up, everything's going fine. You know,
I'm I'm loading it all up and then my monitor
is separate. So I open up the monitor comes with
instructions that are pictures. Fucking rage, So I'm looking at
it and I'm like, this doesn't even make any sense.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
It's like, is this backwards not just a cord to
the cord?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Would you would I would think, well.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
First of all, this monitor is pretty high end, thank
you who you have to like attach it and it
can move up and down and it's in the end.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Actually would have.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Screw stuff in?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I have it, okay, So you know, it took a
little bit of effort, not much, but a little bit
of effort. And then I go to the point where
I just all you gotta do is plug it in. Well,
it has two different options of plugs, and but I
only have one cord Europe. Well, you either plug it
in with an HDMI cable or a regular.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Court the one that has a little twisties the little
things in the back.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yes, you're very well versed than you, h And so
it only came with the HDMI cord. I'm like, okay, well,
I guess I'll hook it up with the HDMI. On
the back of my computer, it has a port that
says HDMI. The back of the monitor, it says HDM.
I plugged the plug looking at the stupid fucking instructions.
That's what it says to do and so, and then
(09:58):
it says or has the other off plugging in that work? No,
like seventeen times plug unplugged plug, try other different plugs.
Nothing's working. It won't the monitor will not come on,
and I'm like, what the fuck? Three fucking days I've
been working on this thing, looking it up on other
(10:20):
way places if I trying to figure out how the
fuck do I get this thing?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Did never call Johnny? He didn't say he didn't sell yeh,
but he knows computers. You got it from best Buy.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
He works your best fin. He doesn't work at the
geek squad. He doesn't work at the geeks. Dude, okay,
text text.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
You don't even know what my monitor is. You don't
know what computer? Could you text him? What could you
possibly text him?
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Feverishly texting, I said, hey, dude, exclamation point all podcasts
about him.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Having trouble PC.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
You'd be able to help him, right.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
That's so, that's such a dumb text, and it's not
even accurate anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
What are all those texts above it?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Anytime he wants to buy anything I'm looking at, you tell.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
This this guy's hot GVD collection.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
I don't have to get that Best anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I can't figure it out. I'm at the point of
where I'm so fucking frustrated because I'm literally looking at
this dumb picture, looking at it. I'm not doing it wrong,
so I don't understand what the fuck is going on.
I want this thing work. Then I have the thought,
maybe I need that other chord. Maybe this human I
think is wrong, Maybe I need the other chord. Fucking
I gotta go back to fucking best Buy and get
(11:46):
this cord. Gotta hit up.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
You get this is what you get.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
You're trying to fucking skirt around john This is what
you get.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I'm not a skirt.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So I'm like, finally, so pissed. I'm so frustrated. And
then yesterday I get home from work and I am
talking to Deborah about it.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Immediately got a text back to Johnny.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Hell yeah, hell yeah, john.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Getting them waiting for you to text immediately.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Yes, of course I can help him. Exclamation point. I
got all you guys.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
See, he's thinking I want to buy a new computer.
He's thinking I want to buy a new computer, not
that he can fix an issue with You are so.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Stupid, You are so stupid.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
He's up.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
God, you believe you are so stupid. Anyway, So I
get home yesterday I look at my blank monitor screen
and pissed again and I and I am complaining to
Debra about it, and I'm like, I don't know what
the fuck is going on. I don't know why this
thing won't work. I can't figure it out. It's really
(12:58):
pissing me off. Blah blah blah blah. Ball go and
take my nap. I'm just like, just piss over, sleep
for a little bit. Get up.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Do you have a nightmare about John?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
And I would never do that. Come walking out to
the living room. Something something catches my eye over out
of the corner.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Just what's up? Taking back?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It wasn't him? What the I look over and where
our computer is? The monitor is on what John'll come.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
The best by logo? Was in the in the sky John?
What everybody the best by logo?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
He shows up glasses on.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
So I'm confused. Am I dreaming right now? Am I
waking up in a daze? What the fuck is going on?
Why is that thing on? And I look over and
Deborah is kind of standing there smug smugg shut up,
arms folded, and I go, did you you got to
(14:08):
understand something about my wife.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What she is technologically inept.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
You can't teach her any like, she doesn't know anything
about any computer stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And no, she's like sky, Yes.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
But she's worse than me, which is crazy, which is yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Hard to understand.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
She's a paper calendar girl. Yeah, it's not. She does
not she's not a technical, technological person at all. So
I don't none of this makes sense. I don't know
what is going on. I'm so confused, and I go,
what is this? And she goes, yeah, I figured it out.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I went, like, you're a piece of ship.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
She said that.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
That's how I felt.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
How I've been literally banging my head for three days
and I feel like I kind of know what I'm doing.
How could how could you do this? I don't care
because it's crazy. It makes no sense. It'd be like
you figuring out a play in football, like how do
you know?
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
If you did, though, somehow you did. I don't understand it. It
doesn't make any sense. And so I'm just like, what
is going on here? What what do you mean? And
she goes, I just read the instructions.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I go, bitch, I.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Read the instructions. Motherfucker. I read the instructions and I
go over, I pick them up. I go see, it's
a plug here, plug here? What are you talking about?
And she goes, those aren't the instructions. I readstructions, the
instructions to the microwave. She said, those instructions are incorrect,
(15:45):
the instructions that came with the computer, and she turned
them over. They're only seen one side of the instructions
because once you set up the computer, you're done, and
then you the monitor is separate. It's a totally separate brand.
It's separate everything, really, and what it's.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Crazy, John, I would never have advise that you guys
are wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I mean with the monitors, they're completely see these guys
are So she turns over the paper instructions when she's
doing it, and she goes see and I look and
they're completely different plugs outlets to the and I'm like,
(16:28):
why is this telling me to plug it in there?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
This is the monitor? How could it?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And I look and she's right, there were different like ports,
and I'm.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Like, how the fuck did that even? Could that be incredible?
It doesn't make sense. I still don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
But there is no fucking so obviously, Emily, I'm happy
the monitors working, but I'm pissed how the fuck did
she figure that out? And me, who actually knows a
little bit about computers didn't. So it was one of
those mixed emotions things where I'm legitimately irritated that she
(17:08):
figured it out. Yea, who the fuck does she think
she is? Yeah, it's not cool man.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
No, Yeah, well this this kind of actually happened to
me yesterday with Robert. It was computer wasn't in anything, Technici.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Feel like this happens all the time, fixing anything.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
She's pissed reading.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
My son, Reid was doing his homework and I was
trying to help him with and it didn't go well
at all good. It turned into a gigantic fight. And
then all of a sudden, Robert comes home from work.
He waltzes in, sits down with Reid. No fighting, helped
him with his homework right away.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Robert figured it out, and I really.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Really annoyed happy that they figured and they.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Have good fathers. Father sometimes my god.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Okay, so that annoyed me, So I get your annoyed
the same.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I don't want to be the same.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I don't want to be the same. I don't want
to be the same.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Yeah, Hailey, Uh, we had a TV stand and I'm
pretty good with TV stuff and the TV stand.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, but you're also not handy. I'm not.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
But this was pretty easy and I was doing it
and I screwed something, but I like missed the screw
somewhere and I was struggling with it and I was
getting frustrated. So she walks over and goes, looks at
it for a second and goes, oh, you just did this,
and then fixes it and.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Then she goes, that's all you had to do, and
then just walks away all sass, and.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I go, you're not better than me.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
She clearly, she goes and she and she looks at
me and she goes, I didn't say it was, but
that was easy.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
To figure out.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Oh right in my face, that's a different I mean,
that's a little I don't think it was.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I mean, she's more handy than me. But let me
have my moment. I was trying to do it wrong.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
God, Yeah, I have this with uh, you know, you're
not alone. I have this with my husband.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
And opening things. We all know.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I'm very uh weak and feeble, especially my hands. So
I would always bring him jars, and I got over
it because he would like be all cocky about like, oh,
look how fucking strong I am.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Look look how I'll do it, and it's pretty easy
for me. And I'm like, I do the same thing.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
I feel like you're a.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Hercules, So then why don't you don't.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Have this, Robert?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
So I got so mad at his cocky ass attitude
opening fucking jars that I would take them out of
the kitchen to the back of the house and kind
of hide from him, and and then and then because
it would take time, and I'd be like, hitting.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
It on, you're so feeble, this is to open a
ketchup jar.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
And then what time I got the lid and I
came out and my husband's like, what happened? And I
didn't know what he was talking about. I fucking busted
a blood vessel in my eye because I was explored
Well, guys, I ran into a situation yesterday with my
wife Deborah. It was a bag of mixed emotions where
I should be really happy about something, but it turns out.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I was annoyed. We ain't done yet. It's time for
the podcast over.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
A year completely uncensored and unacting, filtered except for that
part the party.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
The show's after show starts now.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I don't know if you guys have ever run into
this situation before. So I've been very frustrated for the
past like three days because I went out and bought
myself a new home PC.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh yeah, I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Whenever I get a new computer at the house, I
feel like, oh, my whole life's about to change. Everything's
gonna work so much much faster. Everything's going to be
organized so much better.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That being said, Yeah, my PC, the one that I
just got rid of, gotten to the point of where
it was overloaded with shit.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah that it was barely working.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
And we'd had it for like seven years, you know,
so it was just filled up with crap and whatever. So,
I mean, I've been hard at work on this where
I've been putting stuff on external hard drive, making sure
everything was saved, all that stuff, and then went out
and bought myself.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
A new PC.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
And really all we do is, you know, crap at
you know, surfing the web, and there's nothing really important
that we're doing, not like we're gaming, not like we're
watching movies on it. We don't do a lot with it.
But my wife saves a lot of pictures and things
like that. Yeah, and so things get stored on there
that you know whatever. It fills up really quick. And
so I was like, all right, well let me go
(01:52):
get a new PC quick and easy. Bata boom, felt
like I got one that I liked. Done.

So I'm just making sure all that's so safe.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I can't shutterfly like a wedding book.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Because it anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I am dude, I mean, I got married. You think
it's just pick anyway. So now I'm ready to set
it up this week, here we go. Okay. I don't
know about you, guys, but I fucking hate instructions that
are just pictures and no words.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I'm on that. I That's why I can't do I can't.
I can't.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
That's why I've never been. I never want step foot
into it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You're a fucking genius, you know what. I think. It's
smarter people that you need work instruction.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Look at the pictures.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Color. That's how I feel. Man, I hate those things.
But up my computer, it's pictures.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
What do you got?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
You got the tower at the.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Tower and about a monitor separately? Tower? Okay, mouse, Well,
I mean you need all those.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
The speakers on shift out on the speakers.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It comes with like sneakers.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Are on the monitor.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
They're like a load. Yeah, my god, guys, that's not
what this is about.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
We have a lot of questions.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Sorry, sorry, you know who doesn't have these questions?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
John?
Speaker 7 (08:32):
You know?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Okay, So anyway, setting up, everything's going fine. You know,
I'm I'm loading it all up and then my monitor
is separate. So I open up the monitor comes with
instructions that are pictures. Fucking rage, So I'm looking at
it and I'm like, this doesn't even make any sense.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
It's like, is this backwards not just a cord to
the cord?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Would you would I would think, well.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
First of all, this monitor is pretty high end, thank
you who you have to like attach it and it
can move up and down and it's in the end.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Actually would have.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Screw stuff in?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I have it, okay, So you know, it took a
little bit of effort, not much, but a little bit
of effort. And then I go to the point where
I just all you gotta do is plug it in. Well,
it has two different options of plugs, and but I
only have one cord Europe. Well, you either plug it
in with an HDMI cable or a regular.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Court the one that has a little twisties the little
things in the back.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yes, you're very well versed than you, h And so
it only came with the HDMI cord. I'm like, okay, well,
I guess I'll hook it up with the HDMI. On
the back of my computer, it has a port that
says HDMI. The back of the monitor, it says HDM.
I plugged the plug looking at the stupid fucking instructions.
That's what it says to do and so, and then
(09:58):
it says or has the other off plugging in that work? No,
like seventeen times plug unplugged plug, try other different plugs.
Nothing's working. It won't the monitor will not come on,
and I'm like, what the fuck? Three fucking days I've
been working on this thing, looking it up on other
(10:20):
way places if I trying to figure out how the
fuck do I get this thing?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Did never call Johnny? He didn't say he didn't sell yeh,
but he knows computers. You got it from best Buy.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
He works your best fin. He doesn't work at the
geek squad. He doesn't work at the geeks. Dude, okay,
text text.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
You don't even know what my monitor is. You don't
know what computer? Could you text him? What could you
possibly text him?
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Feverishly texting, I said, hey, dude, exclamation point all podcasts
about him.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Having trouble PC.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
You'd be able to help him, right.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
That's so, that's such a dumb text, and it's not
even accurate anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
What are all those texts above it?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Anytime he wants to buy anything I'm looking at, you tell.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
This this guy's hot GVD collection.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
I don't have to get that Best anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I can't figure it out. I'm at the point of
where I'm so fucking frustrated because I'm literally looking at
this dumb picture, looking at it. I'm not doing it wrong,
so I don't understand what the fuck is going on.
I want this thing work. Then I have the thought,
maybe I need that other chord. Maybe this human I
think is wrong, Maybe I need the other chord. Fucking
I gotta go back to fucking best Buy and get
(11:46):
this cord. Gotta hit up.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
You get this is what you get.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
You're trying to fucking skirt around john This is what
you get.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I'm not a skirt.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So I'm like, finally, so pissed. I'm so frustrated. And
then yesterday I get home from work and I am
talking to Deborah about it.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Immediately got a text back to Johnny.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Hell yeah, hell yeah, john.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Getting them waiting for you to text immediately.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Yes, of course I can help him. Exclamation point. I
got all you guys.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
See, he's thinking I want to buy a new computer.
He's thinking I want to buy a new computer, not
that he can fix an issue with You are so.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Stupid, You are so stupid.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
He's up.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
God, you believe you are so stupid. Anyway, So I
get home yesterday I look at my blank monitor screen
and pissed again and I and I am complaining to
Debra about it, and I'm like, I don't know what
the fuck is going on. I don't know why this
thing won't work. I can't figure it out. It's really
(12:58):
pissing me off. Blah blah blah blah. Ball go and
take my nap. I'm just like, just piss over, sleep
for a little bit. Get up.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Do you have a nightmare about John?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
And I would never do that. Come walking out to
the living room. Something something catches my eye over out
of the corner.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Just what's up? Taking back?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It wasn't him? What the I look over and where
our computer is? The monitor is on what John'll come.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
The best by logo? Was in the in the sky John?
What everybody the best by logo?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
He shows up glasses on.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
So I'm confused. Am I dreaming right now? Am I
waking up in a daze? What the fuck is going on?
Why is that thing on? And I look over and
Deborah is kind of standing there smug smugg shut up,
arms folded, and I go, did you you got to
(14:08):
understand something about my wife.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What she is technologically inept.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
You can't teach her any like, she doesn't know anything
about any computer stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And no, she's like sky, Yes.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
But she's worse than me, which is crazy, which is yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Hard to understand.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
She's a paper calendar girl. Yeah, it's not. She does
not she's not a technical, technological person at all. So
I don't none of this makes sense. I don't know
what is going on. I'm so confused, and I go,
what is this? And she goes, yeah, I figured it out.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I went, like, you're a piece of ship.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
She said that.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
That's how I felt.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
How I've been literally banging my head for three days
and I feel like I kind of know what I'm doing.
How could how could you do this? I don't care
because it's crazy. It makes no sense. It'd be like
you figuring out a play in football, like how do
you know?
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
If you did, though, somehow you did. I don't understand it. It
doesn't make any sense. And so I'm just like, what
is going on here? What what do you mean? And
she goes, I just read the instructions.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I go, bitch, I.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Read the instructions. Motherfucker. I read the instructions and I
go over, I pick them up. I go see, it's
a plug here, plug here? What are you talking about?
And she goes, those aren't the instructions. I readstructions, the
instructions to the microwave. She said, those instructions are incorrect,
(15:45):
the instructions that came with the computer, and she turned
them over. They're only seen one side of the instructions
because once you set up the computer, you're done, and
then you the monitor is separate. It's a totally separate brand.
It's separate everything, really, and what it's.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Crazy, John, I would never have advise that you guys
are wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I mean with the monitors, they're completely see these guys
are So she turns over the paper instructions when she's
doing it, and she goes see and I look and
they're completely different plugs outlets to the and I'm like,
(16:28):
why is this telling me to plug it in there?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
This is the monitor? How could it?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And I look and she's right, there were different like ports,
and I'm.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Like, how the fuck did that even? Could that be incredible?
It doesn't make sense. I still don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
But there is no fucking so obviously, Emily, I'm happy
the monitors working, but I'm pissed how the fuck did
she figure that out? And me, who actually knows a
little bit about computers didn't. So it was one of
those mixed emotions things where I'm legitimately irritated that she
(17:08):
figured it out. Yea, who the fuck does she think
she is? Yeah, it's not cool man.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
No, Yeah, well this this kind of actually happened to
me yesterday with Robert. It was computer wasn't in anything, Technici.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Feel like this happens all the time, fixing anything.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
She's pissed reading.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
My son, Reid was doing his homework and I was
trying to help him with and it didn't go well
at all good. It turned into a gigantic fight. And
then all of a sudden, Robert comes home from work.
He waltzes in, sits down with Reid. No fighting, helped
him with his homework right away.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Robert figured it out, and I really.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Really annoyed happy that they figured and they.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Have good fathers. Father sometimes my god.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Okay, so that annoyed me, So I get your annoyed
the same.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I don't want to be the same.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I don't want to be the same. I don't want
to be the same.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Yeah, Hailey, Uh, we had a TV stand and I'm
pretty good with TV stuff and the TV stand.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, but you're also not handy. I'm not.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
But this was pretty easy and I was doing it
and I screwed something, but I like missed the screw
somewhere and I was struggling with it and I was
getting frustrated. So she walks over and goes, looks at
it for a second and goes, oh, you just did this,
and then fixes it and.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Then she goes, that's all you had to do, and
then just walks away all sass, and.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I go, you're not better than me.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
She clearly, she goes and she and she looks at
me and she goes, I didn't say it was, but
that was easy.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
To figure out.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Oh right in my face, that's a different I mean,
that's a little I don't think it was.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I mean, she's more handy than me. But let me
have my moment. I was trying to do it wrong.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
God, Yeah, I have this with uh, you know, you're
not alone. I have this with my husband.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
And opening things. We all know.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I'm very uh weak and feeble, especially my hands. So
I would always bring him jars, and I got over
it because he would like be all cocky about like, oh,
look how fucking strong I am.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Look look how I'll do it, and it's pretty easy
for me. And I'm like, I do the same thing.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
I feel like you're a.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Hercules, So then why don't you don't.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Have this, Robert?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
So I got so mad at his cocky ass attitude
opening fucking jars that I would take them out of
the kitchen to the back of the house and kind
of hide from him, and and then and then because
it would take time, and I'd be like, hitting.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
It on, you're so feeble, this is to open a
ketchup jar.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
And then what time I got the lid and I
came out and my husband's like, what happened? And I
didn't know what he was talking about. I fucking busted
a blood vessel in my eye because I was explored
