Speaker 4:Two more years. We're gonna have to do a big thing.
Speaker 7:Was just talking to somebody about my grandma's yard site is on Valentine's day. Our site is the anniversary of their death. Valentine's day, my grandma. And it was crazy because talking about how I was at this gathering a long time ago at my condo, which was, she had all this really woo woo stuff there, like all these crystals and energy healing devices and all this stuff. We would do these weird kind of channeling sessions.
Speaker 7:I was channeling my grandmother even though I didn't know it was the anniversary of her death.
Speaker 9:Then the next day my mom called
Speaker 7:me and I was like, wow.
Speaker 4:When was that? Was that recent?
Speaker 7:No, it was a long time ago. Really long time ago.
Speaker 4:So what does it feel like when you're channeling? Do you connect with somebody when you're channeling?
Speaker 7:It's interesting because I don't really usually do that. Know, it was kind of like a fluke that I happened to be getting these messages from my grandmother. And I think part of it was because I was at my friend's place and she had all this kind of high energy stuff
Speaker 9:going on.
Speaker 2:Love that.
Speaker 4:Like Energy healing devices that were putting Is it silver? Is it iron? What is one of the energy healings? What metal is it? Copper.
Speaker 4:Maybe copper?
Speaker 6:I think it's copper.
Speaker 7:I love this. Okay, so
Speaker 4:You're online. We can hear
Speaker 6:you now. Welcome to the chat.
Speaker 7:Alright. There's nothing for
Speaker 9:these stupid headphones. We like to think good.
Speaker 4:But at
Speaker 7:least it does for you guys to be wearing them so you know that I'm not. Yeah. Okay, well so I like this one. What's one hot take you've been dying to share? Have you guys ever watched subway takes?
Speaker 9:Yes. Yes. I have not.
Speaker 4:I have. Did you say yes and then you're like I have He was just a little excited to say yes.
Speaker 6:I was excited about the question.
Speaker 4:I was like, okay. You're like, that's a good question. I have watched the Subways and I love when the guy is like, absolutely.
Speaker 7:Yeah, 100% yes.
Speaker 4:What is it? What are you talking about? So you basically say like, what is something controversial? Controversial.
Speaker 7:Yeah, like a hot take. But he does not have
Speaker 4:cup tea. Like, for example, you could say, I'm not gonna say the person who says this, I also don't wanna be hated on a podcast.
Speaker 7:I'm gonna be hated on this podcast. I know
Speaker 4:I might be, who knows? Amanda, terrible. Snoop Dogg, terrible artist. Hot
Speaker 7:take. Here's my hot take, Bob Dylan, awful person.
Speaker 6:I've heard that one.
Speaker 7:Such a bad person that I can't listen to his music, it makes me sick.
Speaker 4:Yep. That's like a hot take. Nothing crazy but something people don't
Speaker 7:I also have a real well some of them are kind of crazy.
Speaker 4:Yeah, like my hot take, I think most everybody might agree with me on, what is that? Health insurance scam. Biggest scam of America. Scam. Scam.
Speaker 4:That's a scam. It's a scam, but we're forced into I
Speaker 7:have another hot take. Braces are a scam.
Speaker 4:Braces are are a Why so?
Speaker 7:For one thing, pulling out children's teeth is a scam because it makes your palate smaller. And usually to
Speaker 4:get Little braces they children's teeth out.
Speaker 8:Well, had eight teeth pulled What?
Speaker 7:Four baby, four adult, Holy crap, four man. They'll pull your teeth out so they can make the braces and then have more space.
Speaker 4:Okay, I understand why you're saying that. I was like,
Speaker 8:you should
Speaker 4:have seen my teeth.
Speaker 9:What happened?
Speaker 4:I have two fake teeth. So Fake, sake. And not, I really do.
Speaker 6:These two.
Speaker 7:Oh yeah, see
Speaker 4:Until they had to move the teeth because I didn't have teeth there. So Right, when you're working well I had baby teeth but not teeth. So they just fell out. It's hereditary. It's just hereditary.
Speaker 4:Wow.
Speaker 7:Well it's interesting because I also think that wisdom teeth should not be taken out unless there's emergency level pain or something.
Speaker 6:See that's why I'm so wise, I have all four
Speaker 4:of Me too.
Speaker 9:Yeah. Yes.
Speaker 7:Because I just had this intuition, why should I take them out if there's no reason to?
Speaker 6:Right, if it doesn't hurt, if it's not causing issues.
Speaker 4:Can we buy this?
Speaker 6:It's just another bill.
Speaker 4:We would have a great podcast. Oh my god, I feel like you and Rachel would die every time. Rachel wants to do a Positive Pickle podcast.
Speaker 6:A Positive Pickle podcast Art is what
Speaker 7:Walk because they're gonna try to do
Speaker 4:this every Art Walk right here. The Art Walk? Oh my god, imagine people waiting for us to show up. The four of us could do this.
Speaker 6:You know what this is just reminding
Speaker 9:me of?
Speaker 6:I can't even say it.
Speaker 4:We show up at 06:30 all. I feel like four
Speaker 9:of us are perfect. Yes, that's great.
Speaker 7:So the dental thing though.
Speaker 6:Big, big energy.
Speaker 7:I really think almost all my dental problems have been caused by dentists and orthodontists. Oh,
Speaker 4:I think I have TMJ because of my braces.
Speaker 7:Yes, exactly. Okay, so the thing is that when they take out your teeth when you're a kid, or when they put in braces, it makes your palate smaller.
Speaker 4:And when
Speaker 7:your palate's smaller, it causes airway issues that make it harder to breathe through So your there's all domino effects that happen when you either get teeth pulled out as a kid or get braces or both. And fillings are also most of the time a scam. Because they drill your tooth and take more of it out in order They do. Fill unless you really need the filling, like you're in extreme emergency pain or something, I say just wait it out, work with
Speaker 4:They your teeth, do it because that's how they make money.
Speaker 7:Exactly.
Speaker 4:And I know that because I literally worked for A dentist.
Speaker 6:Don't name anyone, Jessica.
Speaker 4:Oh. Name
Speaker 7:someone, my dad's a dentist. I'll name it. It's his fault though.
Speaker 4:I'll name drop it. I used to work for Invisalign on I the dental don't think Invisalign's a scam because it totally fixed my teeth. Well,
Speaker 6:there's also no pulling of teeth involved with that.
Speaker 4:No, it can. You have, Some people will pull teeth. I will say, can get it done with dentists and you can get it done with orthos. And let me tell you, there are some bougie people out there. They like their money.
Speaker 4:Everybody likes their money. You know
Speaker 7:what, I'm that's glad my dad got all that money being a dentist
Speaker 4:because Right, so you do know. That's why the dental is here, y'all. She knows. She knows what's a scam. So is this really a hot take?
Speaker 4:The microphone is wonderful.
Speaker 7:Other part of the hot take I think is well I don't know if this is the hot take, but it's like there are certain careers like being a dentist where people think they're doing something right and good and make a ton of money for it. But they don't really have much incentive to look into why it might be a scam because it's kind of better to just assume, oh, I'm doing something good and making a lot of money, right?
Speaker 6:Right, and it being kind of almost a health I mean, is a health care profession. You kind of rely on those individuals to kind of you put your trust in them to do what you think is right.
Speaker 4:Exactly. A lot of times they make it feel like you should get your cavity filled. Right, it's good for your It's Yeah, right thing to exactly. Be weary y'all. Or like you get crowns.
Speaker 7:I had dentist tell me I should get crowns
Speaker 4:every time
Speaker 9:I get one of my teeth.
Speaker 4:And shit.
Speaker 7:Do you
Speaker 6:know that there's that whole movement now, especially with celebrities where they grind down their teeth and put on casts? Even though their teeth are perfectly fine. Intentionally. People that have normal teeth just want them specifically perfect.
Speaker 4:They
Speaker 5:How do they get
Speaker 4:into the mic? Wait, how do they grind them down?
Speaker 6:It's just like veneers. They have veneers put on.
Speaker 7:Think It's like I grind my teeth at night, and that's why the dentist will tell me I should crowns on all my teeth. But I just decided honestly, I'm not going to go to the dentist anymore unless I'm having an emergency because it just raises my stress through the roof, they're telling me I need all these things, have all these problems. And I'm like, I don't trust you so I don't know what to do anyway. You're just gonna cause me a lot of stress and then I'm gonna just be in this undecided not do the things you're telling me to do. So I'm just not gonna go to the dentist.
Speaker 7:Just do a ton of my own self care. I have this very extensive dental routine that I do every
Speaker 4:Do you do a water pick?
Speaker 7:No, but I want to.
Speaker 4:Oh, me too.
Speaker 6:That was life changing.
Speaker 4:Wait, wait, is it?
Speaker 6:It really was.
Speaker 4:Thing my mother-in-law got us to share a toothpick delicious
Speaker 6:Not a toothpick. A toothpick is wooden.
Speaker 9:No, what
Speaker 4:is it, baby? Water A water pick. Was like, oh
Speaker 6:yes, that's interesting.
Speaker 4:Has That's two a kids to it. I was like, bro, what is this? And that's a choice.
Speaker 7:Do you
Speaker 4:use it every night? Be honest. Nope, I can't I use did it one time and my tongue hurt because I didn't know how powerful it was
Speaker 9:then. She put
Speaker 6:it on high and she's like, I think I bruised my tongue.
Speaker 4:Had a hard tongue. The water went everywhere. Answer in the chat, can you bruise your tongue? We wanna know. Thank you.
Speaker 4:We will read comments next month.
Speaker 6:If we're around.
Speaker 4:We will be at 06:30 this four. Yes, we are. Wait, what's your hot take?
Speaker 7:I have another one too, but you go first.
Speaker 6:Oh, no, this could be too controversial.
Speaker 9:Think I might have
Speaker 4:to What do you mean, what's my hot take?
Speaker 9:No, no,
Speaker 4:no, just what's a hot take? What's something that you think a lot of people believe in, but you're just like, nah.
Speaker 7:Love hot takes.
Speaker 4:I have
Speaker 7:a good one. Can I tell you guys if you don't have Will
Speaker 5:you want another Yeah?
Speaker 7:All right, so my hot take, which is super controversial, is that pets are not right relationship with animals.
Speaker 4:No, I'm so confused. Explain. What?
Speaker 6:Yeah. Please go into Jesus What? Here because I
Speaker 4:No, I honestly don't know what you mean.
Speaker 7:Yeah, I just don't think that I don't think it's right to keep pets to keep animals as pets.
Speaker 4:Got it. Okay. So how did you say it? What was your title?
Speaker 7:I just don't think it's the right relationship to have with an animal, a pet.
Speaker 4:Got it. You
Speaker 7:know? It's like obviously people question the farming industry, know, like factory farming and stuff like that is harmful to animals. But people don't necessarily question pets that much. Mhmm. And I think that having a pet, like like having an animal be your personal pet where it's then, neutered, unable to reproduce, infantilized, and treated kind of like trapped in our society, trapped in our medical systems and all of that.
Speaker 7:I just think it's really not a right way to treat animals. Let's hear from you guys. I could
Speaker 9:go on,
Speaker 7:but let's hear
Speaker 9:from you.
Speaker 6:No, no, this is good. This is good.
Speaker 4:So what would you do though about all the
Speaker 7:The pets that already exist?
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 7:Interesting because I've talked to people about this, I'm not an expert on how to rewild animals. I do think it's possible, I think one of the problems is that people really don't want to. But what
Speaker 4:about if it's Pigeons. If there was all these dog soaps Pigeons. Running No, Amanda, we're onto dogs and cats. Pigeons not right now. They used to be pets when they did the messaging.
Speaker 9:They were
Speaker 6:carrier pigeons, yes.
Speaker 4:Yes. And that's why they're all over the city. We have pets? Yes, pigeons. None as we ever
Speaker 6:watch. Free telephone.
Speaker 9:Free telephone. They had to carry
Speaker 4:the messages. That's why they're always on. Interesting. I didn't even know about that. Then people just didn't want them as pets anymore, so now they're just
Speaker 7:on That's actually okay, right?
Speaker 4:They're on the street. They're chilling, kind of. Really causing any problems. Say that to the New Yorkers who get Or do they have a poop on New York. Are pigeons real or is it a government conspiracy?
Speaker 4:What? No, man. Get out of here. That is a real conspiracy. Is a real one.
Speaker 4:People actually think that pigeons are very I'm shutting serious. That conversation now. So dumb. They say that they're cameras for the government. Are you serious?
Speaker 7:Like they have cameras in them? I
Speaker 4:don't know. They're saying they're fake birds.
Speaker 7:That's interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Wow. A big conspiracy. If you wanna know more conspiracies, at me because I love conspiracies. Yeah, tell
Speaker 9:us more. Wonder if
Speaker 7:we can turn that screen off. It's annoying. Or

Speaker 7:Or at least
Speaker 4:tell us how many more people are watching. Yeah I know. I don't
Speaker 7:know if anyone's really watching right now.
Speaker 6:Because for all I know we're talking into a black box.
Speaker 9:We are.
Speaker 4:I like phones, it sounds fancy.

Speaker 6:good news at the end of the day, right? Self entertainment.

Speaker 4:Yes, we have fantastic parents.
Speaker 9:Heard you have other kids.
Speaker 4:Wait, I guess I do. See? Yeah.
Speaker 6:Okay, what's the most random fact you know off of the top of your head?
Speaker 7:Okay, wait, but I wanted to
Speaker 4:hear your conspiracy theories. Sorry. You want more conspiracy theories or do want me to go in more depth on this pigeon?
Speaker 7:No, want to, well either, whichever you prefer.

Speaker 6:random fact you know. Okay.
Speaker 7:Feast too after this.
Speaker 4:Mic's going crazy. Okay, Okay, so I listen to, I forget her name, but she does Dark History podcast. Amazing. If you don't listen to podcasts,
Speaker 6:If she just you know who we're talking about, look her up.
Speaker 4:Wait, that doesn't make sense. If they're listening to a podcast, they're listening to us right now on a podcast. Yeah, if they listen to podcasts, but exactly, if they listen to our podcast and they listen to podcasts. Moving right. Back to the cheese conspiracy, fact conspiracy, I don't really know.
Speaker 4:I heard it from somebody else, I did not Just say what it is, girl. Spill the beans. Spill the milk.
Speaker 6:So fact's not fact.
Speaker 4:Nobody crying over spelt milk. So I won't go into crazy details, but back when cities started forming, there was a farming issue. So you had farmers who produced a bunch of milk and this turned into a little bit of a problem because they didn't know what to do with it. So there's a few things that happened. You have to remember, there was not a lot of clean water.
Speaker 4:A lot of people were drinking alcohol, so their only other option was milk because their water was filthy, like it wasn't clean. So milk was their source of drinking, hydration.
Speaker 7:Were animals
Speaker 6:getting any clean No, the animals were filters.
Speaker 4:That's of the problem. So in the cities, they didn't know what to do with these cows.
Speaker 7:A cow could be a water filter.
Speaker 9:This is great. And
Speaker 6:let's go back to animal rights.
Speaker 4:Wow, what a full
Speaker 9:circle guys. Wow.
Speaker 4:All about conspiracies.
Speaker 9:It's an animal field. There's a lot of people.
Speaker 4:The cows ended up producing a whole bunch of milk. I'm gonna ruin this whole thing. But long story short, they worked, there was, let's get into a little bit of religion. There was a very religious guy who one of his foundations was milk. I don't really know where it goes into, but milk was a big foundation of his religion.
Speaker 4:Okay? So he ended up forming a group, I don't know if it was a nonprofit, something like that, but he ended up working with all the farmers in the cities and he made this whole thing basically forcing milk upon everybody.
Speaker 6:Got milk?
Speaker 4:Got milk. When was this? That's part of the conspiracy.
Speaker 7:What year was this in?
Speaker 4:I have no idea. Like I said, don't ask me facts. This is a long time ago. But they ended up striking a with the government.
Speaker 6:I think I actually did hear about this.
Speaker 4:They struck a deal with the government basically saying if
Speaker 7:There they was a government that wasn't that long ago.
Speaker 4:Then it wasn't that long, exactly.
Speaker 7:Keep going.
Speaker 4:Exactly. It was long ago but not like
Speaker 7:Yeah, it was sometime in the last century?
Speaker 4:Correct.
Speaker 6:Yes.
Speaker 4:So, the government basically was like, yeah, we'll give you money if you need money. I thought it had to do also with the Great Depression.
Speaker 9:Actually spinning
Speaker 6:off into that conspiracy, that's also the food triangle, pyramid was also set up to actually help.
Speaker 4:Milk in this whole industry. It's all part of it and it's all because of that You're guy who started going with it girl. Sorry. I'm trying to make it long story short, I'm really bad out of it. There's too much milk to be milked out of.
Speaker 9:It's like you milked out. Spit it
Speaker 4:out. Just needs You're more
Speaker 6:butchering this.
Speaker 4:Like a cow. Okay, another conspiracy.
Speaker 7:This is definitely a conspiracy about how they make raw milk illegal. That's like a
Speaker 4:This is a conspiracy,
Speaker 9:don't know. With
Speaker 6:homogenization and pestilization.
Speaker 7:Yeah, because raw milk is so much healthier. But then, can still access it, can buy it from a farm, but you're not allowed to sell it at the grocery store or at the farmer's market.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah. Makes sense why you don't see it. So then it's harder to access They said that it was unhealthy. I think they said you can get some kind of disease.
Speaker 7:But it's like super healthy. People that drink it are so healthy.
Speaker 4:I think I would be extremely gossip.
Speaker 6:Well, who knows? Maybe lactose intolerance is a byproduct.
Speaker 7:People who are allergic to milk can drink raw milk a lot of the time. The other thing is, they sell it at the Mill Valley milk store over in Hadley. I sometimes
Speaker 6:I Actually, those are the glass bottles, right? That they sell over in Whole Foods?
Speaker 7:Exactly. Do they have it at
Speaker 9:Whole Foods?
Speaker 7:I don't think they
Speaker 9:They do.
Speaker 6:They used to. It's I a big
Speaker 7:glass don't think they're allowed to sell the raw ones
Speaker 4:in Whole
Speaker 7:Foods because they're not allowed to sell in the store. But they do have maybe the glass bottle, the higher quality one. Yeah. But the Mill Valley Milk Farm has the raw one. And the other cool thing about the raw milk is you can leave it in your refrigerator forever.
Speaker 7:Eventually it'll turn into cheese if you leave it there long
Speaker 6:enough. Wow.
Speaker 7:Yeah. But no matter what you do, it will never because really go when it goes bad, just turns into cheese. You can still Interesting. I've also read, this is something I've not tried with regular milk but apparently with any milk you can just leave in your refrigerator and eventually it'll turn into cheese.
Speaker 4:Did you see the video that you can make mozzarella cheese
Speaker 5:with milk?
Speaker 4:You just put it on the stove and you just
Speaker 6:That'd count.
Speaker 4:You know what? I think that sounds like a great project for you and Aaliyah to do. She'd probably love to do that. She would. Like that.
Speaker 4:For our podcasters out there, Aaliyah is my one and a half year old daughter. She's amazing.
Speaker 9:Oh.
Speaker 4:In case anyone's listening to this. Long story short okay, back to the cheese. Basically, he struck a deal with the government saying, you know, whatever. They ended up having a surplus of cheese, I don't know when, but they had a shiitake mushroom amount of cheese, like a whole bunch of cheese. So they put it in these caves.
Speaker 4:Cave cheese.
Speaker 6:Cave cheese, yes.
Speaker 4:And then they had so much cheese.
Speaker 7:Actual caves? Cave aged cheese, that's a thing, it's really expensive.
Speaker 6:Well that's why.
Speaker 4:But that's straight No, from the it's legit,
Speaker 9:I didn't know that. The government
Speaker 4:offered to
Speaker 6:pay for all of this cheese and it's stored away
Speaker 4:somewhere So, into a then they ended up advertising cheese on everything, extra
Speaker 6:cheese
Speaker 4:They on cut a deal with Domino's. That's why Domino's is huge because Domino's was gonna go under, they were going to fail as a business, and then the government was like,
Speaker 6:you need cheese? Wow. Got cheese.
Speaker 7:So a business is starting to fail, all they need is cheese. The government will give them cheese. You just have to add cheese to it. I don't think that would really work with Chinese food though because they don't have any cheese in their
Speaker 4:Then they could find something with cheese. Crabber Create something new. Little
Speaker 9:But springs of none
Speaker 7:of the Asian food
Speaker 4:is cheese
Speaker 7:so maybe if they are having issues they should take the government up on this idea.
Speaker 4:Do something. There's gotta be a big enough chain.
Speaker 7:Oh, a big chain. Know those Chinese buffet chains? Golden Corral.
Speaker 6:You have chains?
Speaker 4:Golden Corral.
Speaker 6:Golden Corral,
Speaker 7:I know, I grew up in New York so I don't know about any of that bullshit. I'm gonna get that beeped out because we're not allowed to curse
