The Nightly Rant

A few days ago, Biden was in Georgia ranting about how horrible their voting system is. Apparently Georgia is easier to vote than in the bigger states like New York, Pennsylvania etc. 

We don't have Vice President Harris, its President Harris Mike says. Mike is frustrated because they are talking about voting rights being blocked, and he rants about this. 

Mike says that why do we have to show our vaccine status but don’t show our voting card. Mike rants about this, telling them to ‘shut up’ and ‘f off’. Torya asks if he is being blunt today.

It is another segment of ‘Am I the asshole’. This scenario is picked just for Mike. Torya explains the scenario, a lady is dating a brutally honest man who isn’t malicious.. Just very honest. She describes more of the scenario in which there is a family dinner, a remark was made about his sister in law having kids and the lady explains there is infertility involved. This brutally honest man asks which side and then proceeds to say that he thinks that women over 30 should not have babies as he thinks they will produce defective kids.

Mike interjects saying people are ‘nuts’. Torya ends the scenario with the main lady in the scenario telling this man that if she wanted an asshole's opinion, she would have just farted. Apparently the sister and the man in question sent a message saying she was rude, vicious and an asshole towards him and ruined her birthday. 

Mike says he doesnt think either person is an asshole. He believes that if you're a blunt person, you should be able to receive blunt feedback. Mike explains that he has been called an asshole many times. Mike tells this man to grow up. 

Torya states her opinion. Torya doesn’t think this man is brutally honest or blunt, he is just rude. He should've kept his opinion to himself, and not comment on females personal reproductivity. 

Mike and Torya rant about this situation. Mike has the view that he asked the question and it wasn't a problem, Torya believes that he shouldn’t have brought it up and it was rude. Torya states more of her opinion. 

Mike and Torya continue this conversation about what was right and wrong to say. 

Torya states that the scenario states he is brutally honest, not intelligent. Mike speaks about their friend Debra and her mindset, and explains it.

Mike and Torya apply this situation and mindset to their relationship. Mike starts to talk about politics and the two sides and how each side complains and speaks bad about the other. Mike makes many baby sounds. 

Torya giggled at the comments on this ‘asshole’ post. There is someone that agreed with them that there is no asshole. One person said they should have replied to the sister, instead of the boyfriend, with a remark. Which Torya thinks is a perfectly normal response. 

Mike and Torya ask each other who they think is the asshole in the entire situation, and they both agree it is the sister. The sister also exposed the fertility issues. 

Mike and Torya discuss what to say/not say in situations and keeping things private.

Mike talks about compromising, using an example of smoking and no smoking areas. You ‘meet in the middle’

Torya describes another ‘am I the asshole’ scene. The post is ‘ Am I an asshole because I ate an entire cake to myself in one day’. Torya explains the scenario. Mike says the wife is definitely the asshole, Torya agrees. Mike explains why.

Mike and Torya laugh as Torya made Mike a cake for his birthday and they relate the scenario back to their relationship. 

Torya tells the man to find another wife and Mike says they are headed towards divorce. 

Mike talks about kitchen nightmares and Gordon Ramsey having to convince the chef that his food was ‘crap’, and hearing all the employees comments and feedback, it came clear to him. 

Mike talks personally about his opinion in people not answering questions directly. 

Torya tells that sometimes she has to psych herself up for dinner parties sometimes when there are certain people coming.

Mike says we have lying politicians, whiny political parties, and then we have people like these 2 assholes. Mike changes his opinion about the first asshole scenario, he believes the sister was the asshole. 

Mike tells Torya that she is a person who understands that she is doing it for the other person. Mike continues ranting, Torya joins in. 

Mike's point is that he would do whatever he could do to get what she wanted and vice versa. They both do things the other wants to do because the other wants to do it. 

Torya speaks about going to a reptile show that Mike wanted to go to, she didn’t initially want to go but she did it for him and she really enjoyed it. 

Mike says that it is funny that hes super blunt and a lot of his interactions are online, and because he is quite sarcastic there is a new trend to write /s when people are being sarcastic. 

Mike finds it interesting that people dislike him online but fall in love with him in person. 

They are glad they both came to the same conclusion. 

Mike expresses how the first few weeks of 2022 have been interesting, Torya adds in that it hasn’t been crap…. Yet. The year has been odd for Mike. 

Mike talks about how people should know what to do with the pandemic at this point, but the people are being confused by the government as they have no communication capabilities. Mike has found a headache to help with his headache problem and his body pains. Torya has been attacking his back with her elbows.

Mike was on his way to his first treatment, Mike accidentally rejected Torya’s phone call. Torya describes the situation, Torya thought a telemarketer was calling from Napa. Torya gets a call from the grocery deliverer that they can’t carry the groceries and they have to get them. Torya described the driver as Beetlejuice. She had a confrontation with the delivery driver and slammed the door. The Beetlejuice-looking psychopath threw a 12 pack of cans at Torya when she asked for her groceries back. Then they said ‘I have covid and coughed all over your groceries’.

Mike shares his thoughts on the situation. Mike wonders why the delivery driver would escalate the problem, even if Torya was sassy. Torya deemed this delivery driver as a psychopath and continues to rant. 

Mike relays a story that his friend told him about a stupid confrontation. He describes his friend as a defensive lineman football player, size-wise. The friend got a gun pulled on him.

Torya doesn’t understand why some people escalate some people who are being ‘rude’. Mike says he is following a social media policy and explains how it applies to everything. Mike and Torya discuss this and bicker. 

Mike finds this whole topic interesting. ‘Perception is in the eye of the beholder’ Mike says.

Torya says she called the company's customer service reps and found it difficult. Torya should have calmed down before calling, but even so, there was a confrontation. 

Torya got a refund from the 2nd rep she spoke to. She owned up to being angry. Mike describes this was a good moment, she owned up to being angry.

Mike adds his advice about talking to the customer service reps. 

Torya says a Dr.. Pepper torpedoed through one of their pot plants and broke it, when the delivery driver assaulted Torya. Mike says that it is not worth Torya’s time if the police filed a report. 

Mike tells people to be careful about delivery drivers, and go in a pair. Mike keeps Torya safe. 

Mike says we would all get along better if we didn\t always fight on the things we don’t agree on. 

Torya says there was nothing particularly heavy in the grocery bags, from the previous situation they discussed. 

Mike says he was a chess player his whole life and was always taught to look back on past mistakes so he can work on them. 

Torya starts to tell a story about her iPhone. She explains her iPhone home button does not work, no more clicky. It made it very hard for her to use the iPhone. Torya goes to get her phone repaired and she received a loaner phone. It has happened to her before so it was fine for her to take the loaner phone. 

Mike stops Torya and asks if there were any dick pics on the phone, as he explains he knows someone who had a loaner phone loaded up with dick picks, which was not funny for his girlfriend. Torya continues with her story about the loaner phone, one week goes by after she first took this loaner phone. The phone had to travel to the east side of Canada.

Torya’s patience has turned paper-thin, wondering where her phone is. She calls them, they offer the loaner for her as a replacement. Torya rants about this situation, rightfully so. Mike praises the customer service and how he handled the situation. 

Mike introduces the last topic, Instagram scammers. Mike is good at picking up when accounts are scammers immediately when he sees their names. Mike talks about these scammers and explains how they scam you and hack your account while looking really realistic.

Torya tells a story about someone she knows who got scammed and was stupid enough to give their account away. Live people will never ask you to read the real code. 

Mike and Torya are going to Australia. Torya knows the song ‘down under’ but only knows the line down under. Mike and Torya discuss this. Mike asks for anyone to send them a message to tell them the song and they will get a prize, Thought Merch. Torya is going to see a koala bear and she says she feels like a big tourist. Mike and Torya talk about koalas. Mike’s daughter is getting married so Mike and Torya are going to the wedding. Mike talks about his daughter and how he hasn’t seen her for a while.

They continue talking about Elizabeth Warren, they briefly talk about Elon Musk who won Time Man of The Year. Mike describes him as an alien from outer space and one of the most genius businessmen ever. No one would flinch if he was an alien. Elizabeth Warren said maybe we should change the tax codes so the man of the year pays taxes. Elon refuses to be a puppet so Biden ignored him.

Mike found a monthly membership place. ‘Assisted stretching’ is what they called it, and they had all the good things to say about this. Until ….

Regular listeners would know that Mike has had thousands of interactions with scammers and never been fooled. Mike explains the scam and what happened. It was a company card and they paid for the next session with them. A month later, Mike talks to someone at the company. Mike accepts responsibility, 95%, he explains that he didn’t follow up. 

Mike then explains why he doesn’t use the membership anymore. Torya tells that because he doesn't go, she doesn't go. Mike and Torya now need to watch youtube stretching videos as it helps them with headaches, sleep etc.

Mike says that companies need to work on their customer service, where they review the processes they have for certain situations. 

Mike and Torya are shocked with how many episodes The Nightly Rant has and thank the listeners.

Mike and Torya talk about Bree, the dog. Mike tells Torya that her tagline is “she makes me laugh every day”. Torya jokes that she likes Mike the same way she likes the dog. Mike and Torya discuss this. Torya covers her tracks and tells Mike there are 100 reasons why she loves him.

Torya calls Mike a ‘turd sandwich”. There is joke talk of possibly some violence following this comment. 

Bree is special. She has big dog feelings. Mike and Torya explain these feelings and how laughing makes her more comfortable. Bree had free training to help her stop jumping. Yogi is different and one of Mike’s complaints is Yogi has to snick every blade of grass. 

Today’s topic is ‘Am I the asshole’. They describe a scenario ‘Am I an asshole for telling my dad that the 5K he gave me for college is not enough.’. Torya explains this scenario and asks if this person is the asshole. 

Reaction number 1 is that she is maybe an asshole as she should trust what their parents are doing. There is a ‘even if’ comment. 

Reaction 2 is that the person was upset about their dad blowing off their celebration dinner

Torya explains that she was the golden child in her family. She describes how. Mike asks if this was made clear to Torya and her brother growing up. Torya explains that she doesn’t think her parents really treated them differently. 

Torya’s opinion is that the dad is the asshole for blowing off the person at the celebration. Mike says they are both the asshole and the daughter ends up as the asshole for complaining about the money. However, Mike ends up agreeing with Torya. 

Mike opens the show by talking about the misinformation that goes around. He says that at the start of the pandemic, the main reason they told us to wear masks was to protect other people from us, not to protect us from other people and all the covid. He’s not a pro mask or anti-mask. They complied with places that required them to wear a face mask.

Then they talked about the new president. And having a new president comes a new press secretary. And for Mike, she just looks like Peppermint Patty from the Charlie Brown - Peanuts series. The way they are inconsistent really makes Mike mad. She was then asked about Hunter Biden's business dealings in China and she says that he is not an employee of the Federal Government completely missing the point that the president claims his son didn’t have any business dealings with China. 

Then they talked about the smash and grab lootings going on, running around stealing from malls and big box stores. She claims that stuff going on is due to Covid. Torya asked why would they steal Nike and watches? It's not like they’re stealing vaccinations or cold medicines, they’re stealing high-ticketed items. And the Mayor of Chicago blames the businesses for the smash and grab robbery saying that they should hire more security. Then they were asked about the $1.2 Trillion dollars Build Back Better plan and they claim that it doesn’t cost a penny. 

Then they continue talking about the Omicron variant in Africa and the travel ban. 

Mike then says that Joe Biden has a stutter so it's not racist. Her claim was that Biden is too busy for a TV interview and yet continues to go on vacation. Torya says it's because houseplants can't stay in direct sunlight for too long. And they really have a good laugh about this. 

Then when she asks about the vaccine mandates and how other courts have shut down and called them illegal and she went to the next reporter and basically refuses to answer the question. Very typical thing about this administration. Then they continued talking about some of the questions asked to her and her answers.

Torya says that Hillary Clinton would have been a better first woman in the White House. She had a pair of balls. She knows how to do politics properly without being a BITCH. She then says that COVID is the root cause of INFLATION. 

Torya ends the show by saying that she is sad that people are not picking up the word RAD. 

Mike opens the show by saying so many things have gone on that are newsworthy. Torya agrees to it however most of the news is dogshit and she doesn't give a rat’s ass about it but today she found out something rather amusing. She proceeds to read an interesting article titled “Suicide pods now legal in Switzerland, providing users with a painless death”, by the globalnews.ca.

Mike then shares his opinion about this article. He would never ever classify this as neat when someone was at the point where they’re giving up and they're not gonna let nature take its course and just give up and take their life themselves.

Torya then shares that most of the people who go the medically assisted suicide route are in extreme pain with zero quality of life. Based on statistics she researched, 98% of people who choose medically assisted suicide are in hospice, which means their life is garbage.

Mike’s bottom line to this issue is that depending on the sum of the facts presented. It's like one of the situations wherein some cases it's perfectly okay and some cases morbid. Torya then shares her opinion on this matter. She thinks it is one of those things that people should be allowed to choose for themselves.

Then they continue sharing their opinions about this article. Mike admitted that he thinks the problem is he doesn’t know anything about medically assisted suicide.

Torya then shares that she agrees with Mike, that what if the diagnosis is wrong. But she thinks she will deal with that when it's in her family and it's her business. Mike says that he forgot his argument about this issue. Torya then says that maybe she talks to some of it. Mike then shares that it is educational for people who are listening to be able to change their views based on what somebody says because if you won't be able to do that, it's usually for one reason only, you're not listening.

Torya then shares that there are things that they don't agree on and have not agreed on ever but they slowly over time as they have more discussion of those things, drift toward one another. They believe that they are generally the type of people who are willing to consider other people’s opinions on things and make an educated decision for themselves based on those opinions. Mike agreed.

Torya ends the show by saying how exhausted they were and Mike agrees that it is a long long week.

Mike opens the show by asking Torya if she ever heard about the latest woke nonsense. These woke jackasses want to get rid of the Black Friday term because it was racist. 

Then they talked about an article Torya reads titled: Worst Ways Amazon Exploits Workers During Black Friday.

If you want to read the satire article, here’s the link: https://www.theonion.com/worst-ways-amazon-exploits-workers-during-black-friday-1848112465

Torya then shares her favorite story for her Amazon purchases. All the delays and no apologies. Mike points out that Amazon was good in compensation before, but not now. If you are offered, it was not taking advantage. 

Torya then points out that when Mike gets his mind set on something,  it is the only thing that is happening and nothing can deter him. He doesn’t love it, but he gets it. It’s just one thing about Mike that Torya loves about him. Then they continue to talk about Mike’s behavior.

Mike ends the show by saying he is tired from all the talking and so is Torya.
