Get Your Freak On…

What’s been preventing me from counting sheep? Lyrics of music playing over and over in my head! You know, when you don’t know all of the words to a song? So you get one line stuck in your brain? That’s where I’m at. Unfortunately, I don’t understand what the line even means? 

I also discuss being a freak. That it’s OK to let your freak flag fly! Own it. Humans say and do a lot of weird things. It’s fine. Just go with it. 

I also talk a bit about Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, fashion and other nonsense…

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Ramblings of an Insomniac. I am Courtney. How are you? I've been doing a lot of podcasts the last couple of days inside because it's been kind of rainy. Um, and I you know I'm an Oregonian, so rain is not something I am scared of or am bothered by, but because I do this on my phone, I can't have my phone just exposed out in the pouring down rain. So you don't get to hear the birds and the frogs and the crickets and coyotes and all that good stuff. Um, but on the plus side, you don't hear you also don't hear the cars and the airplanes and all the people. So you know, uh there's pros and cons, right? Well, hello, good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. Do you want to know something rad, something really uh forkin rad that I am absolutely drop dead stoked about? Um oh my god, sorry, I burped. Goodness, I'm sorry. Uh so between um two days ago, just two days ago, so in um within two days, I have had over 200 downloads. 200 downloads in two days. Now, again, I understand that that is not Joe Rogan status, I understand that's not Theo Vaughn status, I understand that that's not crime junkie status, I get that, but for me it's a really big deal, and every single person counts. Every single person that's listening is a big deal to me, genuinely. I um recently found out that my ex account, aka Twitter, my ex account was suspended, and I was like, uh, that's weird because I don't post anything mean, I don't threaten people, I don't harass people, I not on my Twitter accounts and stuff, not on my social media, I don't do any of that. And it says because and it said it was because um I was my my profile was deemed um un inauthentic. Inauthentic. Me, inauthentic. The one that is literally does my podcasts on my cell phone. I don't wear mo makeup in 95% of my videos, I don't use filters in my videos, I don't edit my videos, you hear everything, I say everything, I don't censor myself, and somehow I'm inauthentic. It said it thought that I was too spammy. Um I can't help if people are posting spam on my page or something. I don't know how that works, but I don't I don't know what they're talking about because inauthentic. So now apparently I don't have a Twitter account. Um so I sent an appeal, and then it tried telling me that I, because I sent it from an email, they sent me an email. And by the way, did they warn me? No. Did they go, hey, by the way, this be again, I don't know what behavior they're talking about, inauthentic behavior. Um I post the links to my podcast, I repost other people's posts, and again, the posts that I repost are not like um they're of other people, like I've posted, I've reposted posts where people are like threatening the president. But again, that's not me threatening the president, and that's not me reposting it and then saying, yeah, I agree with that. Um I post my videos, which I'm not threatening people or being violent toward anybody. I'm not bullying people. So I went to so again, they didn't give me any kind of a warning. They didn't give me, at least TikTok will be like, hey, you know, three strikes are out kind of thing. This is your warning. No, I didn't get no warning. I didn't get a warning, I didn't get anything. I checked my email and it was like, oh, by the way, uh, you're done. And then it said, and by the way, if you try making another account, or um if you try um using another email and making another account, you know, basically we're on to you and you can't do it, and we're not gonna let you. So you're just banned from X forever until you die. And I'm like, so you and it even said in there, sometimes this happens where we're wrong. Sometimes we're wrong, sometimes you're not a robot, sometimes, you know, we make a mistake. So here's what you do. So I was like, okay, so I submitted a little thing and I'm like, inauthentic. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not a bot, I'm not I didn't, I don't post spam, you know. Could you, I don't understand why you're not giving me a warning. I'm a real human, you know, what's going on kind of thing. I don't understand what I posted that was an issue. Could you at least tell me what I posted that was an issue? I mean, even TikTok will at least tell you what the issue is. I got no I got no warning. I got no um, I got nothing that said, this is the problem, this is the video, here's what you said, here's what you did that was the issue. Nope, they just said inauthentic behavior. And I don't know what they mean by inauthentic, because I'm probably the most authentic, I'm a very authentic person. I can't say the most. I am a very authentic. Like I said, I don't even wear makeup half the time. And as you guys know on my podcast, I'm you hear me use poop bags for God's sakes. You can hear the poop bags. So authentic, you get complete auth authnis authn authentic. I'm completely authentic. Authentici. No, God, I can't talk today. I also have a really hard time saying, okay, let me see if I can say it. Chivalry. There we go. Chivalry. That is a very hard word for me to say. That is difficult. I don't know why, but it is. Along with I have to say it really, really slow. Social security. But I can't say it fast. I don't know why. Social security. Chivalry. I don't know. Words. Words, man. Um, so if you're trying to find me on my um Twitter account, apparently I don't have one, but I've submitted an appeal. Um, I have not heard back. This happened yesterday, early morning. Uh oh, excuse me. Sorry. Oh. Oh, I tried to take a sip of coffee and went down the wrong. Oh. Um, so we shall see. I don't know if they're gonna approve it, but apparently now all I have is Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. You can get me on BuzzSprout and iHeartRadio and Pandora and Spotify and Apple Music um to listen to my podcast. But anyway, my point is I can't tell you how fucking excited I was. I was genuinely, I was like, get out of here. 200 downloads in the last two days. I understand that for people out there that are big time podcasters, that's nothing. That's peanuts. Like you poop that out in one second. But this is a really big deal for me, and I appreciate it. I cannot even begin to tell you how much it means to me that people have been listening. I don't know how you guys are finding out about me. I don't know if you're hearing from a friend who it from a friend from a friend. I don't know if it's from one of my social media like the you like YouTube or Facebook or something. I don't know if you just happen to be, you know, searching for something on like Spotify or Apple mu Apple Music or Apple podcasts, and you were like, um, you typed in a word, and then when you used that hashtag, my podcast came up. I don't know how you found me, but I am telling you, I have been absolutely excited. I'm so excited. So thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. And the more people that listen to my YouTube, I'll start posting more videos and happier stuff on my YouTube, and same with my Instagram and all of that. Um, I've been kind of a Debbie Downer cranky pants. I've been SpongeBob cranky pants. Um, because again, that's why I took a break from social media. It was making me think that every human out there was just a piece of trash and everybody was hateful and evil. And I know there are a lot a lot of people out there that are like that, of course, and there's definitely a lot of crap going on in the world. But there are also a lot of amazing people out there, and I've ran into them. I know because I've I've spoken to them the last week, over a week. And I can tell you that there are a lot more happy people out there than jerks, and so you know, like Luke Bryant says, I believe most people look good, and most mamas are a qualified sainthood. Yeah, I know you guys like it when I sing. Yeah, how you like it? You like it. Just kidding. Um, but so I had to take a break. I was just falling into that like doom and gloom, um, really negative space, and I don't want to be there. I want to be happy, man. I just want to get along. I want world peace. Just like on Miss Congeniality, world peace. Hang on, I have to take a sip of coffee. Oh, in momento. Okay, so do you want to know what I put in my coffee today? First of all, let me state for the record, Nutella. It's not that I didn't like Nutella before, but I was just like, I don't understand what all the big deal is. It's basically like, what is it, hazelnut and chocolate or something like that. And I was like, big whoop do you do? Everyone's acting like Nutella is the like it's chocolate with some hazelnut in it, you know. Both things existed. Okay, but it's not a big whoop, guys. I didn't hate it, but I also didn't think it was some, you know, big deal. Big deal. I didn't think it was that either. So I was like, whatevs. But at the place that I'm staying, they had some Nutella and they were like, help yourself. And I'm like, uh I don't know. So I had some and I was like, okay, it's not terrible, it's not too shabby, but again, I don't think it's like the greatest thing since peanut butter. Get it. Um, but I didn't think it was bad. But I'm also not a gigantic chocolate fan, although lately I don't know what the hell my problem is, but I have been on a major chocolate. Like I have been craving chocolate. And you know, I know sometimes your body will crave things that you're lacking. And I don't know if chocolate has something in it that maybe my body's like, you gotta get it, girl, get it. Because I have been normally I'm not a chocolate fan. I hardly ever eat chocolate. And lately I've just been like mom mom. But, anyways, guess what I put in my coffee? And I don't know why. Nutella. Is that weird? So I was like, uh, you know, I kind of need something to spruce up my coffee. And I was making a little Nutella sandwich thing, and it was like, mmm, and I like looked at my Nutella and then looked over at my coffee, and then looked at my Nutella, Nutella, and then looked at my coffee, and I was like, ugh, well, if it doesn't work, I can just empty out this coffee and I'll make a new one. And so I tried it, and it's pretty sweet because I kind of OD'd, I think. I think I put a little too much, but I could see how that could be something. So if you ever feel like it, if you've got a little Nutella with you, put a little in your coffee, mix it around, and boom, you're welcome. Yeah. Oh, and I also put a tiny bit of vanilla flavor in with it. So let me get a little sippy sip. Mm-hmm. Again, I I put a little too much Nutella, it's a little too sweet, but it's pretty pretty good. Do you guys know what that's from? Who knows what this is from? Pretty pretty pretty good. Anyone know? Curb your enthusiasm, yo. I haven't watched that in a in a hot minute. I started to say in a forever, and then I was gonna say a hot minute, and it came out in a forever. In a forever? I haven't watched that in a forever. I haven't watched that in a long time, but I do like it. It cracks me up. Have you guys watched the new Scrubs? There was Scrubs, and then they relaunched Scrubs with like um JD and Elliot and Turk and Carla and um Todd, but then they've got some new kids. And so I watched, I'm not up to date. I think I'm two weeks behind right now. So I've watched like three episodes, I think, and I think they're on like five, maybe, but it's pretty good. I thought I was gonna be disappointed because I'm not usually a fan of sequels or of reboots. Like I wasn't gonna watch Young Sheldon because I was like, uh, but I'm like, well, it's a different show, it's a totally different show, it's just Sheldon Younger, and I was like, okay, I could do that. But spin-offs are normally not good. Not a spin-off kind of gal, rarely. I'm trying to think of a spin-off that was good. But then sometimes when they relaunched, like Frasier, Fraser came back, I started watching it, and then I no longer had um whatever streaming platform that was on. I don't remember now at the time. Maybe it was Netflix or I don't remember, but I didn't have that anymore, so I didn't get to watch it. But I thought it was gonna be all wokey woke, and I was like, oh, I'm not gonna be down with it if it's woke. But surprisingly, it did a good job at having both, at having some conservative stuff and some wokey stuff, and I love that. Just like I love it when comedians and people in general, when people in general do what I do, I make fun of everybody. Again, by the way, Europe, all of Europe, every country in Europe, and Canada and Australia, you guys are fucking uh Teflon. You guys are titanium. I am titanium, or I should say, you are titanium. Um, but I won't fall. Okay, anyway, I love that song. Because I pick on your countries relentlessly. Again, I think your countries are beautiful, although I don't know what I'm talking about because the only European country I've ever been to is France and Greece. Um, and they were both beautiful. Um, however, the people were not very nice in either country, but that's okay. It's all good. There's a lot of people that are douchebags in America. So, you know, we're a big country, you're gonna run into some douchebags because we have a lot of people. So odds are they're gonna be some assholes. But I make fun of those countries quite a bit. Again, not the people that live in the country. Those countries seem beautiful. I've only seen pictures again. I've been to Greece, been to Santorini or Ethereum, I should say, but um, I can't speak on behalf of the other countries in Europe I have not been to as far as what they look like, because I've only seen pictures that my friends have taken or you know, on the internet. So you have lovely countries, and I'm sure the people that live in the countries are lovely. But the way that the countries are ran, not great. Not so great. And I pick on those countries a lot. Also, you guys pick on America too. So all fair, all is fair in love and war, right? You guys pick on America, you guys pick on Trump. I know you do. A lot of a lot of people in Europe, um, a lot of people in um the UK, a lot of people in France pick on Trump and Mega and America in general. Canadians love to pick on Trump and Mega. Um, Australians seem to like the same. So I mean, again, you know, we all pick on each other. It's like a sibling thing, you know? Um, but I'm not hating on people. I'm hating on governments. And a lot of people want America to be a socialist country, and we just can't be. We're a gigantic country, people. We're big. Okay. I don't think people understand how large we are. You can't just like in Europe, you can visit all of the European countries in, you know, a couple of days. You you could drive around in like, you know, a day. You can't do that in America. It it's thousands of miles across. It takes days, plural, to drive from one end of America to the other. You can't just toodle on over to Florida if you're from Oregon, you know? You can't just saunter on over to New York if you're from California. On a plane, it takes five hours on a plane. Okay, that's how big America is. So we need to like get real with that. But anyway, I really, really, I can't even tell you how excited I am. I woke up and I was like, holy crap. And then every time I go to check my podcast, boom, somebody else has been downloading it. So keep it up. Why? If it's not broken, don't fix it, right? You know, don't stop a good thing. You don't stop in the middle of sex, right? This is a good thing. Let's keep it going. Let's keep it going. I love the let's keep up the momentum. I am so excited. Um, again, my ex uh account is not up right now. It's hopefully I've submitted uh um an appeal, so we shall see how it goes. Okay, so um, you know that song, I can't feel my face when I'm with you, and I love it. Okay, that song. So that reminds me of Greece, my friend Shauna. Shout out to Shauna, Shauna Nana, Shauna, Nana. So, Nana. Um, I uh crashed her party in Greece and she allowed me to do so, and I got to stay in Santorini for 10 days, and it was so bleeping amaze balls. I cannot even tell you. It was like one of the best trips of my life, and I went by myself, and I feel bad that I had such a good time without my family, but I did. And well, I don't feel bad, actually. I don't know why I said I feel bad. I told my family, I was like, damn, I'm going on more vacations without y'all. Because my sons, I love them more than anything in the world. But the last two vacations I've gone on with them were horrible. They fought, they were in the middle of, we had a lot of shitty things going on in our family, and it just was not good timing, and it just it was not good. But then I also went on one of the best vacations ever in Belize with my sons, and it was awesome, and we all got along and it was fantastic. So, you know, sometimes vacations are good with families, and sometimes it's a vacation because you don't have your family. So, um, you know, I'm not saying to be away from your family. Families are important. You should spend time with your family. You don't know how long you're gonna have them. I'm just saying, you know, if you want to take a bath and have a moment to yourself, that's okay. If you want to go out and have like, you know, a couple hours with your friends or just going on a drive by yourself, you do it. You should, because that's how you recharge. That's how you can be a good parent or a good spouse, you know, because you need a moment. But anyways, I digress. My point is that song, I can't feel my face when I'm with you, and I love it. What the fuck is that song mean? I can't feel my face when I'm with you. And they love it. They can't feel their face, so they're numb. So they're having a heart attack or a stroke? They're stroking out. I don't know if that's good. I don't understand. I can't feel my face when I'm with you. So they're numb because they're with you. I don't get it. I don't know. Just like there's a song that Kanye sings, and I never remember the song because it drives me so fucking nuts. I don't know why. But he's got a line in there where he rhymes sodium and podium together. And it grades on every nerve that I have. I don't know why, but it just I feel like you're rhyming just for the sake of rhyming at that point. You know, you were like, there's nothing else in the whole world that rhymes with podium. So I'm gonna say sodium. But like, don't try to rhyme podium then. Like maybe that shouldn't be in your rap. Because if there's nothing else other than sodium to rhyme it with, don't like force it, you know. Don't try to make fetch happen. Don't try to make fetch happen, okay? It's not gonna happen. Don't try to rhyme just for the sake of rhyming, just like impregnate my mouth. I get that you're trying to be deep. Like, Kanye always is like, I'm so deep. No, you don't understand. Like, I'm so deep that like even the depths of the ocean cannot comprehend the level of deepness. Like, the ocean is so deep that we haven't even begun to explore the depths of the ocean. That's how my mind is. That's like, that's the mind of Kanye of Ye. Yeah's mind is like so deep. No, I think he's just a batshit crazy. I think he's I think he's a crazy person. I think he has good intentions, I think he means well, but he certainly seems like he's very bipolar, which I'm not knocking people that are bipolar. That is a disease, it's a condition, it's a, you know, I'm not knocking it at all. I am probably bipolar. I don't know. I am all over the place. So, but I'm just saying, I think he even said he's bipolar. I think he's admitted that. Um, and I also just think he's a little crazy, you know? Um his girlfriend or wife, is she allowed to talk? Is she allowed to like think for herself? Like blink your eyes if you're okay, Kanye. Wife, I don't know her name, so we're just gonna call her Kanye, which is terrible because I'm sitting here saying, like, you have no identity because of Kanye, and then I'm like, What's your name again? Kanye's wife. But seriously, like blink if you're if you need help. What is up with him? What's up with um the Kardashians? Chloe's the only one that seems normal. Khloe has always seemed like the like that's why I think she's not a Kardashian. I don't, but I I can't say normal and therefore OJ Simpson's her her dad, because obviously OJ ain't normal, not or wasn't normal. Didn't he die? I think OJ died, right? I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong about that. I feel like he died. I know it's probably rude that I don't know, but like, does he did he ever know anything about my family? I'm not gonna know about OJ. He doesn't know anything about me. Why would I know about him? I don't know. I think OJ died, but who knows? Regardless, I feel like even if Chloe was um the daughter of OJ, how did she turn out so normal? Because Chris Jenner doesn't seem normal. And Chloe's family seems very abnormal. That time that they like went camping and it wasn't even camping. Oh my god, they were in an RV that was nicer than most people's homes and worth more than most people's homes. And it wasn't even a full night, it was like fucking eight hours, and they were tripping out and couldn't handle it. And Chloe, again, is the only one that can handle anything. Actually, I think Kim in that episode was being pretty decent too. But hang on, coffee break. Damn that sweet. Um, so I don't know why I brought Clody up. Oh, um Kanye is a crazy person, and Kim. Yeah, there we go. Um, and so North, their daughter, and all of Kim's their kids just seem weird, right? I don't know. Dream is pretty darn beautiful. And like what happened with Rob? Is Rob like, wow, damn, my family is embarrassing. My family is ridiculous, my family is I cannot be any part of this. They're all just crazy. And no wonder he went into hiding. Because how do you that family is just obnoxious, you know? And hey, you gotta do what you gotta do to pay those bills. No, you gotta pay those bills. I mean, Kim's house. I've never understood again why people will build a home that's custom designed to them, and that's fantastic. If you're gonna live in it forever, if you genuinely, genuinely am like, this is my forever, forever home. I'm never moving. You still need to think about your family though, because eventually you're gonna die, and then that home is gonna be in your, you know, hopefully left to your family, hopefully. And is it gonna be conducive for your family as well? Are they gonna want it? But like the way that Kim Kardashian's house is designed, I'm like, let's say you didn't want that anymore. Let's say you wanted to sell it. That is a very, very specific design type, right? It's like it's incredibly, incredibly specific and not it's not your basic house. And it's okay to have a house that's a little funky, a little eclectic, or maybe has some interesting features. That's cool. That's cool. Ain't nothing wrong with that. That's amazing. They should make the house stand out. But when it's so different, now you have just made your market very small. Not to mention that house, I don't remember how much they paid for it, but it was a gajillion dollars. I'm pretty sure you can quote me on that. A gajillion. How much did Kanye and Kim spend on their house? One gajillion dollars. Yep, all right, verified. Anyway, um, and so now you have to turn around and sell it for a gajillion dollars. And not very many people have a gajillion dollars. You know what I mean? And those that do may not have that incredibly, incredibly specific um style. So maybe she's planning on living in it forever. I mean, she is in her 40s, so you know, maybe that is her forever home. And if that's the case, then awesome. I know North doesn't like it because she has said it before. I sound like I know a lot about the Kardashians, and honestly, I haven't watched the Kardashians in years and years and years. Um, but occasionally little shorts will pop up on my YouTube, so I'll kind of watch them. Because it's like a train wreck, you know? Who doesn't want to? I mean, I don't want to say who doesn't want to watch a train wreck. Nobody wants to watch a train wreck, but then at the same time, that's why it's like it that's why there's a saying saying it's like watching a train wreck because nobody wants to watch one, yet we all gooseneck, which is awful, but it's human nature. Speaking of awful and human nature, there's a show called Billions. And I never really watched it, I've seen a handful of the episodes, and it seems like a really good show. And I don't know why I haven't watched it in its entirety, because what little I've the few episodes I have seen, I liked. So the other day, my friend was showing me a scene that he really liked because in it, one of the main characters, um, and again, I apologize, I don't watch the show enough. He's something like the he's a very big wig in politics. He's like the Secretary of State, or I don't know, that's not his title, but he's a very, very big, big, big wig in politics. Okay. High, high, high ranking person in politics. And um, and the guy in real life, I feel so bad because he just gives me the heebie jeebies and the creeps. And I feel bad because so does um um what's his name on Always Sunny in Philadelphia, um, that plays Frank, that was married to Rhea Perlman, uh um Danny De Danny DeVito. I feel bad because Danny DeVito and this guy in billions just gross me up. But anyway, he point is so he's a politician, and he's again, I don't remember his position, but he's very, very high up there. And I apologize because I also don't remember his name. But once I say this, you guys, if you watch the show, you're gonna know what I'm talking about, okay? There's a scene though, where so his wife and him are sadomasochists, and he, this guy, very, very, very much enjoys, and in order to be turned on, in order to get off, in order to enjoy sex, he likes to be completely dominated, to be completely um like bullied, and he wants to be so submissive, right? And I'm talking like degraded, like very degraded and spit on, and just all of these things. Well, apparently another politician finds out about this because part of what he and his wife do is, you know, his wife will make him do all these really, really um submissive things, right? But one of the things that she has asked him to do is go to this club that's like a public club that kind of participates in these things and do these things. Well, someone else saw them at the club. And I it wasn't because they were also at the club. I don't know, I didn't see the episode, so I don't know what happened, but somehow another politician, another high-ranking person found out that this politician was there and was going to blackmail him and was gonna be like, I'm gonna tell everybody, and you don't want everybody to know your kinky kinky sex life. So, you know, he's like, uh-oh, dang. Well, then they're having this press conference, and I guess he's running for re-election. He's up for re-election. So people are going to be voting, and obviously he needs votes. He needs people to vote for him. And he is doing a um press conference, and people are thinking he's doing a press conference basically about, you know, a speech about why you should vote for him again and why he's so great and all of this. And so people are wit waiting for him to just give this speech about basically how fabulous he is and to re-elect him. And instead, he decides that this other person knows this kinky stuff about him, and so the best way to handle it is to have the public hear it out of his own mouth, from his mouth. Nobody else's, but he's like, you know what, fuck it. Someone's gonna probably find out anyway. So I'm just going to cut it off at the pass. I'm gonna talk about it before anybody else can. I'm gonna bring it out in the open before anybody else can. I'm gonna be honest, I'm going to be truthful, and I'm going to trust the public with this information because it's probably gonna get out anyway. And if I'm honest about it, maybe people will appreciate my honesty. But what I love about it is in his speech, and this is just paraphrasing, this of course is not word for word or exactly what he says, but basically he says, look, uh, so you guys think I'm up here running for re-election, and I am, but there's some things you need to know. I have someone that is going to, you know, wanted to blackmail me, and they said they were going to. And what they were going to talk about is the fact that I absolutely love to be dominated. And basically, you know, I'm this kinky perv who likes kinky things. And then he was like, but listen, we all know that everybody has something that we're not proud of. And if there were a recorder in your bedroom, you would probably be embarrassed. There are probably a lot of things that you do behind closed doors, whether it's, you know, in bed or whatever, that you know you would be embarrassed about, that you know that basically you're a weirdo. Basically, we're all kinky weirdos in some fashion, in some way. And so, yes, I'm a kinky weirdo, but this is consenting. My wife and I have a wonderful relationship. We're happy, we're together, it's consenting, and we both participate because it's consenting and we love each other. We're not hurting anybody, you know, and so because we're not hurting anybody and it's consenting, basically, you know, look, here I am, you can make fun of me, you can think I'm terrible, but I wanted to cut this off of the past and I wanted to be honest with you. I just wanted to be honest, so now it's out there. Well, apparently the public ends up handling it well because exactly what he said, because he didn't hide behind it, he didn't lie, he didn't pretend like he's this upstanding perfect person. And that's what kills me. People like to, especially celebrities and politicians. Celebrities and politicians like to pretend that they don't fart and they don't burp and they don't sweat and they don't have skeletons in their closet, and sometimes they don't let their freak flag fly. And if you have a flag that's a freaky flag and you like to get your freak on, get your freak on, then do it. No one cares. Again, as long as it's legal, as long as this is a legal thing and it's a consensual thing, you know, it's a mutual consensual thing and you're not hurting anybody, then I know that we would all of us, every one of us, if we had a camera on us and people were watching us 24 hours, 7, 365 days, there are some shit. People pick their nose, people pick their butts, people itch their cratches, people get freaky in bed, people fart, people burp. You know, we do gross things because we're humans. And I just wish that people would spend more time just admitting it and saying, and I wish politicians in particular would go, yes, this is what I've done. And I realize that part of why they don't do it is because Lord knows the world is judgmental. There are so many people out there that crucify others for just being human. They aren't hurting anybody, but someone's like, Yeah, okay, I'm a freaky person. And everyone's like, oh my stars. Oh, my stars, as they have their pinky up and they're sipping their tea with their big hats. No, don't act like you're perfect. There is not a single one of us that haven't done or said something gross or stinky or weird, or you know, we're we're gross. Humans are gross. We sneeze, we snot, we fart, we poop, we're gross. Okay. And sometimes we like weird things. And so I wish politicians and people would just admit it. Again, maybe people would. It's a vicious cycle because maybe politicians and people would admit it if people wouldn't absolutely rake them over the coals for it and berade them for it. So I suppose it's a vicious cycle. I don't know. I'm just saying we're all freaks, okay? All of us are freaky in our own way, and we should celebrate that. We don't have to pretend like every single like we always, always, always um think that every single thing our partner or our children do is perfect. No. Sometimes our own children annoy us. We love them. We always love them, we'll always be there for them. We wish them well, we don't want them to be hurt. We love them dearly, but sometimes we get angry with them, sometimes we're hurt by them, sometimes they annoy us. Same with our partners, our family members, our friends. Because again, humans are capable of doing and saying weird things and not nice things sometimes. I just wish more people would stop trying to, you know, hide it and just admit it and just be like, yep, okay. I'm a big kink bucket. Kink bucket? I don't know why I said kink bucket, but you know what I'm saying? You know I'm saying, right? I don't know. Anyway, if someone could please tell me though, I can't feel my face when I'm with you. What the fuck does that mean? I'm so confused. I can't feel my face. So they're numb, but how is that a good thing? I don't know. My friend has a real problem with Eminem on I Love the Way You Lie when he says, Um, I guess that's what happens when a torm NATO meets a volcano, all I know is I love you too much. Wait up. Anyway, um, by the way, I can rap all of I Love the Way You Lie. Um, well, almost all of it. Um, there's a couple of parts of it I get a little tripped up on, but I can wrap it. But he is very sciencey and um very logical, and so am I. But um, and I also get very annoyed with certain lyrics like sodium and podium that I don't know, and I can't feel my face when I'm with you, bugs me, but he hates it, hates the line of that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano, because he's like, so nothing, nothing happens when a tornado meets a volcano. Literally, he's like literally nothing happens, and so he can't stand that line. So it just cracks me up. I don't like Eminem, but I don't mind his songs. I think he is a douche lord, but same with Pink. I think Pink is an absolute douche, but god dang it, I love her voice and I like her songs. I I don't know. Miley's another one. I like Miley's voice, but she's annoying. Noah Cyrus, though, she's got it going on. I love a lot of Noah. If you haven't listened to Noah Cyrus, do it. And she also seems like a baddest. I'm Team Noah. Team Noah. I can't believe that Miley's mom is dating. I don't know if they're still dating, I don't know if they're still together, but they were. Miley's mom was dating and slept with Noah, her own daughter's boyfriend. So someone way younger than her was her daughter, her own flesh and blood boyfriend, and she slept with them and started dating. It's like a Jada Pickett Smith thing. Jada Pickett Pinkett Pickett, whatever the fuck. She's a God, she needs help. She is one crazy fucking woman. She is not a good human being. Ugh. Ugh. Anyway, you know who is good? You know who um who is awesome? You. Honestly, I cannot get over how many people have been listening to my podcast. I am so excited. And if you want to send me an email and say, hey, Corney, stop talking about this. Or hey, Corney, could you talk about that? Or hey, this is what I like about your podcast. This is what I'd like to see more of, less of, whatever. Let me know. I would love to hear from you. Ramblings of Ann Insomniac 49, that's 49 at Gmail. Give me a buzz. And uh, there's a thing on there that says send send fan mail or something like that. Send fan mail. Um, you can send me mail through there if you want to. But please continue to tell a friend, tell a neighbor, tell um, tell whoever, tell everybody. Tap a stranger on the shoulder and be like, hey, have you ever listened to the ramblings of an insomniac podcast? Well, I can't talk. Don't say that. Don't bite an out. Have you ever listened to the ramblings of an insomniac podcast? No, well, you should. I would appreciate it if you would tell people and if you would continue to listen, shout out to every single person out there that has, you know, so many other podcasts that they can listen to and yet they still choose. And there's somebody in Independence, Oregon that has been listening, I think, to every single one of my podcasts. I don't know who you are, but cheers. Cheers to you. Shout out to the person in independence, shout out to the person in Dallas, Oregon, shout out to Singapore, Singapore, what woo? Someone in Singapore, or many people. Um, it's uh United States, Singapore is actually my second country, and Canada. Canueks. Anyway, and then France and Germany and Australia are are also high up there of people that listen to me again, which cracks me up because I pick on you guys all the time. I want to go to your countries, and Germany, I love your language. God, I love the German and Russian language. Oh, I think Russian and German is just beautiful, and you guys don't get credit for how cool your language is. And yeah, France, I'm not a fan of your language. I'm just not. Everybody thinks it's beautiful. Same with um, you know, the romantic languages like Italian and France and Spanish. I don't like any of them. I don't, I mean, that sounds rude. Now I'm not gonna get any listeners because people are gonna be like, fuck you. But do you like the way I sound? People don't go, oh, I love American accents. I love, well, I guess some people like um southern accents. I love southern accents, but I don't know. I I shouldn't say I don't like them. I'm just saying that I think that Russian and German accents are freaking awesome. Okay, that's all I'm saying. I have nothing against anybody else's accent. I'm just saying I happen to like German and Russian languages. So that said, um, you guys rock. I appreciate you. Remember to control the things you can. Let go of all the rest of it. Just let it go. Let it go, let it go. Anyway, and um until next time.
