Paranormal 956
Anniversary Episode: Year 1
Ever wondered how a chance encounter in an automotive repair shop could spark an unexpected journey into the world of podcasting? Join us as we celebrate the one-year anniversary of Paranormal 956, where Bianca and I, David, revisit our humble beginnings at Texas Southmost College. You'll laugh along with us as we recount Bianca's bold, candid questions that set the foundation for a friendship that has since evolved into a unique podcasting duo, and how those initial sparks of curiosity have fueled our creative partnership and set the stage for many adventures ahead.
Reflecting on our teenage years, we dive into the dynamics of teamwork and leadership through the lens of a high school senior project. It was a time of big dreams and bigger personalities, where the importance of selecting the right team members became clear. With tales of navigating language barriers and unexpected leadership roles, I share how collaborating with classmates, including our class president Daniel, taught invaluable lessons about efficiency and camaraderie. These experiences not only shaped our school lives but also laid the groundwork for our podcast's evolution.
From spooky YouTube channel ideas to the serendipitous world of TikTok food reviews, our journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. We reminisce about the shared experiences that have fortified our bond, including surviving a car accident together, which only strengthened our resolve to pursue this creative path. Through humor and resilience, we've faced hurdles head-on, leading to unexpected friendships and a growing global audience. Listen in as we update you on ongoing developments from our accident saga and express our gratitude for a journey that continues to surprise and inspire us.

Speaker 1:bianca, uh we turn or we have a year together in this project.
Speaker 2:So I don't know guys it's our anniversary, so I think bianca's button wasn't working.
Speaker 1:No, I think it's kind of like I think it's a poor local. Anyways, it's been a year of us recording. It's been a crazy year recording. It has been way more than I ever thought it would be. I mean we've done the show for the fans. Let's just say that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:We've given content, we've given.
Speaker 2:We show up.
Speaker 1:Our tears sweat, yeah, and everything say that yeah, we've given content, we've given we show up our tears, sweat, yeah, and everything, and my brain cells right, right right so with this episode, we're gonna look back, we're gonna the origin.
Speaker 2:Our origin story.
Speaker 1:Yeah, how it all started, how we became what we are now.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And what we're about to become.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:So let's go.
Speaker 2:Congratulations, Bianca.
Speaker 1:Congratulations, David.
Speaker 2:You lasted a year with me. I wasn't.
Speaker 1:I don't think I was going to make it. I don't think I was going to make it. I didn't think you were going to make it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I almost didn't make it, you almost didn't make it, yeah. So what a year this has been. So my idea for this episode was to kind of look back, kind of give our origin story, because I do think we're a strange couple to a lot of people.
Speaker 1:Of course yeah.
Speaker 2:And even though we are very much alike, we're both Aries. We're very, very different as well, right. So our origin story.
Speaker 1:We're going back to 2018, 2019, more so.
Speaker 2:So math isn't our strong point, right?
Speaker 1:But yes, we don't keep track. We isn't our strong point, right, but yes, we don't keep track.
Speaker 2:We don't keep track Of that. We don't keep track of our anniversary, right, but the show's anniversary True.
Speaker 1:We only know, because it was like October 13th, I think, when we started, yes, or October 31st, yes, it was the 13th. My dyslexia is kind of hitting, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we wanted to start our show on. October 13th yeah spooky year Because it was Friday the 13th. Yeah, and that might have been a mistake, because this is it's been a spooky year. This year has been some shit.
Speaker 1:So Okay.
Speaker 2:Bianca and I met at Texas Southmost College, not sponsored. Not sponsored, not sponsored. We both were automotive repair students.
Speaker 1:Automotive technology yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:And so I started school a year before Bianca.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:And I finished After A year after.
Speaker 1:Bianca.
Speaker 2:So so and this was before the jury right, yes, I was so, just so you guys know it's been like that yeah, it's no surprise, yeah, yeah so let's just say I'm, I'm an overachiever, yeah, yes, okay.
Speaker 2:So Bianca and I met. She was in a different cohort than I am, right, I was, and I also am older than our teacher, my teacher at the time, right. And so one day in the shop, bianca and her classmates all approach me like at the same time, with questions what are you doing here, are you a teacher, etc. Etc right and so you know I don't have anything to hide.
Speaker 1:So I'm answering your questions yeah, as an aries, you don't give a fuck I don't care.
Speaker 2:I mean, I know that I look old and y'all were all like 18 or 19 at the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2:And so I'm, like, old enough to be all your parents.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think a lot of-. We were just questioning your authority around the shop, basically.
Speaker 2:I think it was hard for you all to get your head around the fact that somebody-.
Speaker 1:That you were just somebody, simple student, right right, that somebody my age would just be a student right, which I was. We thought you were a mole right, which I kind of was.
Speaker 2:Kind of was okay, um, because my wife works for the school yeah, and now she's using me right, anyway, it's a common. That's another story. It's a common scenario.
Speaker 1:That's a story for the future, guys. Further episodes down.
Speaker 2:In the questions you asked me if I had kids and I say no. And my dumb ass Freaked everybody out. Yeah, Like why don't you have kids?
Speaker 1:My dumb ass asked why it was yeah Like, why don't you have kids? My dumb ass asked why it was me guys it was me, and I say my nosy chismosa ass asked why.
Speaker 2:And I say because you already had a kid by that time. Oh yeah, so you're like ahead of me in this race, yeah. And so it probably was confusing to you Like I said I'm a no-. Yeah, you're laughing me now, right?
Speaker 1:and so I say that my wife and I can't have kids.
Speaker 2:The way we do it and yanka like that was, she like had like a spasm attack with the answer to that question so I was like so that was like how we met yeah.
Speaker 1:So that was like the measuring of confidence and like comedy wise. Yeah, I just gotta ask why, you know. Yeah, so people are comfortable enough to tell me why, or they don't, like I'll just be, like okay, I gotta back off, or like I'll keep the jokes going and stuff like that you know, so I guess that's how I measure.
Speaker 2:Right, and so at that point I mean I knew who you were. Right, I think everybody knew who everybody was, but you weren't really on my radar as, like Friendship-wise, this girl's going to be in my life for the long haul. I wasn't thinking that at this point. However, however, very shortly after that, again in the shop.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And there is a new cohort. So I'm in a cohort and Bianca comes right behind me.
Speaker 1:Keep in mind, I'm not the only girl.
Speaker 2:She's not the only girl.
Speaker 1:I know this story. And this is like the favorite memory of me in David's head.
Speaker 2:Yes, this is true. This is true. This is where I knew I need this girl in my life. Right, okay, but I will say this you weren't not only were you, not only the only, you were not the only girl, you were not the only cute girl either no, I mean like they're all pretty to be honest. So it was like if guys.
Speaker 1:Tabitha had her. Thing.
Speaker 2:Kim had her thing yeah.
Speaker 1:I was just funny bro.
Speaker 2:Right, you were definitely funny, and so the thing that people that don't know Bianca may not realize is that she's a bit of a stand-up comedian.
Speaker 1:Without pay I've said this before Without pay end up comedian, but and without pay.
Speaker 2:I've said this before without pay.
Speaker 1:So in our shop, whenever we would have like downtime breaks or lunch, because sometimes we would have class up to four hours and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:So you know she would start telling stories and would just attract a crowd. Now, keep in mind, her stories are in Spanish, so I wasn't really in that crowd, right?
Speaker 1:I didn't. There was no point of you being in that crowd.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't understand, but the crowd is like rolling on the ground. Everybody's laughing, and so, one of these days, I'm nearby. It's not a big shop, I'm nearby.
Speaker 1:It's like a hallway of like, like, what do you want to call? It's just like a hallway. It's not that hard to miss someone across walking we have.
Speaker 2:We have eight stalls, I think in total is it eight and something like that.
Speaker 1:So let's just say, like eight cars parked next to each other in a parking lot Just that's how much. You got to walk in the distance.
Speaker 2:Right, so you don't miss anything. So you could hear Bianca on the opposite side.
Speaker 1:I'm loud guys, I'm loud.
Speaker 2:And it's also loud in there.
Speaker 1:Yeah so you hear the echo, me screaming, laughing and the guys laughing, so it's like a whole show right yeah not all the teachers were a huge fan of that, by the way, but man, odyssey, loved me.
Speaker 2:Let's be honest, it's true anyways, um so on, this one particular day that's very memorable to me, you're there with your friends and I, for some reason, I'm very close, I don't remember why, but this kid comes up and he's, I think, in the cohort behind you and he starts, I guess, playing his game okay and even though we weren't close friends, right, we worked together in the shop enough and I saw you, enough that I saw your body language, that you weren't having this from go.
Speaker 2:So bianca does this thing when she's trying to figure somebody out where she kind of stands in a way that it looks like she's squaring you up to fight. Right, and this kid is the same height as her. So they're both. They're both short, at least compared to me okay.
Speaker 1:So keep in mind, I don't give a fuck about height, I don't give a fuck about age, I don't give a fuck about nothing if it's gonna go down if it's gonna go down, it's gonna go down yeah.
Speaker 2:and so this kid comes up and he's like hey, you should, you should give me your number and we should go out sometime and all this stuff. And I'm kind of watching because From a distance. From a distance, because I've seen Bianca go off already. It didn't take long.
Speaker 1:Like week one she goes off.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it doesn't take too much to make me mad, she's a firecracker with a very short fuse, yeah, right, and so I'm here to watch, right? Don't be a faggot, I'm just one of the guys.
Speaker 1:I'm just one of the guys.
Speaker 2:That was one of the funniest things I had ever heard in my life, and so that was the moment I was like I need this lady in my life from here on out, right. So fast forward, like another year, maybe a year and a half, but we have to do a senior project. Oh yeah, the project was probably. Yeah, maybe a year and a half, I don't know.
Speaker 1:But we have to do a senior project. Oh yeah, the project was probably. Yeah, like a year later.
Speaker 2:Another year goes by and we're still not close. No, In fact, I was closer with Tabitha and Kimberly than I was with you.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And even at that I wasn't super close with them either. But anyway, we do our senior project where we have to build like a whole shop.
Speaker 1:Okay, so keep in mind, David is like mostly English.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:And my main one was Spanish.
Speaker 2:Also true.
Speaker 1:So I think that was kind of like a that's Like we're not going to communicate. Because Kim was pretty good in English all the time. Tabitha as well. Yes, their Spanish wasn't like all there and so we went. I mean, they know spanish, but it wasn't like their first language.
Speaker 2:Let's just put it like that and so we went to school with several guys that were from mexico that would walk across every day and so spanish was most of their dominant dominant language, because that was the one that everybody had in common.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Except me, right. So I was like the odd one out.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:In a lot of these scenarios, but you were like in the center of all of it. Yeah Right. So then our senior project comes up. We have to do like a presentation for like a real shop that we're going to build.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's, true, yeah.
Speaker 2:And, like the whole thing, the floor plans.
Speaker 1:So it was basically the land. What does the city ask for, like safety, wise and all that. How much it would cost to build it, the tools, how much it would cost how much. How would you pay your employees? It was like a bunch of like what our services, we were gonna do, what a legit business was like if we had any deals during the week, like how are we gonna get business in?
Speaker 1:yeah the, you know the area and all that extra stuff. So it was like a legit like hard-on project, like it took a long time to do that, yeah, he was like. Nah, like I'm gonna hit him. I hit him hard, you know and so.
Speaker 2:So the way that they did decided to grade this was to make team captains, and we were gonna pick a team to do the best project. I was one of the captains. Our friend, our dear friend, edgar, was another captain. Yeah, which was a bad choice, I think, as far as captain.
Speaker 1:I love Edgar. Edgar is like.
Speaker 2:He's one of the sweetest people you will ever meet.
Speaker 1:Yes, he's like super chill. He's funny when you have to be funny, like he'll take a joke or two and like he goes along with anyone Easygoing. Just chill as fuck, but but as a leader.
Speaker 2:I don't think so. No, not as a team leader, no. So his idea, his strategy for building his team was to get all the quote unquote cool people, I think, and his friends the funny ones.
Speaker 1:The chill ones yeah. Like the funny ones, the chill ones. Yeah, like the cool ones, the laid back ones, you know.
Speaker 2:My strategy was I want an A in this.
Speaker 1:Right, right. We just want to get the project over with and done deal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I want people that are going to work. I want people that are smart.
Speaker 1:Wait, we got Jonathan right.
Speaker 2:So I didn't. He was the leftovers. I think he was the last pick. Jonathan Wright, so I didn't, he was the leftovers. I think he was the last pick. He was the last pick. Yeah, he was the last pick. So my first pick was you, though, and because I had been the class president, you were involved in my administration.
Speaker 1:You got shit done. So that's the thing. I never ran for president as the class goes. I never ran for president as the class goes for the fact that not that I was a girl, it's just the fact that people already saw me as some type of leadership where, like I would help everyone out and stuff like that. Like I didn't want to be put in in that spot. So like a higher, so I was a second.
Speaker 2:I was a second class president. You helped us both do everything we did. I already saw that. So Daniel was our first class president and everything he did I think it was- you doing it Right.
Speaker 1:In a way yeah.
Speaker 2:And I love Daniel too, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he got good ideas and stuff, yeah.
Speaker 2:But you're the one that got stuff done.
Speaker 1:But I guess in my part also running a secretary, it was more like this is gonna happen. I just need your approval yeah, yeah I think this is where my thing comes in right like so when getting shit done. I just need your approval and this is gonna happen.
Speaker 2:You let it run right so when I became president, I had already seen you working with daniel and I wanted you in to work with me because of that reason. So then when we got our senior project, you were my first pick because I was like she's gonna get stuff done, like you got legs where you're running right, like you get stuff done. So I was like I'm gonna pick her. And then I had a few other ideas. Some panned out some didn't.
Speaker 1:so as an aries, whatever the fuck, I don't know, I'm going to find out, yeah.
Speaker 2:So during our project right, I don't remember that it was required, but because of me being able to do certain things, we made a commercial.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was just like a random idea. I think that you brought it up. Or did I bring it up Because I was already in marketing already.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you were in marketing, and so I was like I can make a commercial and this won't be hard and we shot it in a day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, same day, not even an hour, I think. Not even an hour, yeah we just went over a little script and I added a little joke or two and that's it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so we made the commercial.
Speaker 1:It's on YouTube, guys. It's on YouTube.
Speaker 2:And we made a blooper, we'll share it on our Facebook page. Yeah, yeah, it's funny and so when that happened, that's where our friendship really started to grow, because we spent a lot of time on that project. We talked a lot more. I think your true colors. My English got better your true colors started coming out right like and so um I think you understood my jokes more now that I speak more english with you probably right, yeah, that's what happened and so
Speaker 2:it was a language barrier and so when we did the video, you were thinking like, oh, like you wanted to get into YouTube and do all this stuff at the time.
Speaker 1:Because it was funny.
Speaker 2:Generally it was funny. We did a very good job, and very quickly, yeah.
Speaker 1:And so we started talking, and for Smiley to do it.
Speaker 2:Awesome.
Speaker 1:Very impressive. We did the job, we made him look like a star.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we did. Yeah, he looked good in the in the video why the fuck did you pick him though?
Speaker 1:because that was all he did so, smiley, let's just put it at yeah, I'm not gonna say just smiley, just smiley yeah, he was smiling. He's a great, he's great nice guy he's great at smiling whatever he's good at whatever he does, he's just gonna smile real quick.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna tell a smiley story right now. Yes, so after we got our certificates right, which ones our certificate are the first year completed?
Speaker 1:yeah, okay, first year completed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, first year completed, so now we're all going for our associate's degree, Our associate's?
Speaker 1:yeah.
Speaker 2:And one of the classes that's supposed to be a super easy A is basically a quick review of our first year. Right, we have that as one class, and so we went through electronics and we went through engines and we went through all this breaks and all this stuff, and so this class is just a real quick survey of everything I remember now. And so we're in class and I always sit in the front row because I have zero attention span and Bianca sat right behind me.
Speaker 1:And I have ADHD and I still manage to pass.
Speaker 2:So Smiley and Bianca are sitting right behind me.
Speaker 1:You were sitting right behind me.
Speaker 2:And so our teachers. I'm not even really taking notes. I'm probably playing Pokemon on my game because it was such an easy class for me.
Speaker 1:Right, because it's everything we learned, we have the notes anyways.
Speaker 2:It's super easy class and so we're talking about electrical, because we really did like one whole class in a week. Yeah, like super fast.
Speaker 2:And so the teacher says that the teacher is going over how to jump a car Right and and I'm just like bored out of my mind and Smiley raises his hand and he goes wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. And we've already been in school a year and we all have our certificates right. And he says you're telling me that if my battery's dead and your battery works, that you can get my car running with your battery.
Speaker 1:Bro, we all lost it.
Speaker 2:I was like this cannot be real right now. I didn't know very much about cars when we started school, but I knew that.
Speaker 1:Yes, so the thing is that we I think that was around the second semester we had Smiley in. Well, I had Smiley in the class, I think. Yeah, I don't remember clearly, but it was around the second semester we had smiley in. Well, I had smiley in the class, I think. Yeah, I don't remember clearly, but it was around that time and I was like what the fuck did? He just say? So I was like hey, wait. I was like ask it again.
Speaker 2:The teacher says mr desi says smiley, I'll talk to you after class yeah, later and bianca says no, no, no, no, no. I was like no, no, say that again because I want the whole class to know how stupid you are and I'm like holy shit because what the? Fuck yeah. So our, our, our little project was another year later, that's true, and Smiley was in charge of the acting that we did in an hour.
Speaker 1:That's all we could trust him in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and so you and I on that project. Man, I spent a long time, and I know you did too, because you're the one who did the property and all that.
Speaker 1:So I was looking through the property prices, the prices of tools, the prices on several things. Fernando, I think he did the whole PowerPoint thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think so I don't remember exactly. I remember Abraham getting a lot of prices for stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he did the city what the city needed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, our licenses and stuff.
Speaker 1:And then Jonathan. What the fuck did Jonathan do?
Speaker 2:I don't remember what Jonathan did.
Speaker 1:Who else was in the group?
Speaker 2:I think that was it Anyway.
Speaker 1:Damn.
Speaker 2:So because our commercial came out. It's been a long what it's been like what?
Speaker 1:It's been a while Four or five, like five years ago Shit, but anyways it was around.
Speaker 2:Wait a minute, man. That's crazy, cause we've almost. How long have we been friends?
Speaker 1:2018 Around that time, yeah, 2019, the latest, for sure so we've been.
Speaker 2:I feel like it's longer than that anyway. So long story short, we made a good commercial yeah and so we started talking about. You know, I'd make a good youtube channel oh, that's true is if we did the paranormal stuff right, because we go to a haunted school and we talk about ghosts a lot oh, because we started talking about ghosts, because sometimes in the shop like there's some type of noise yeah, on the roof and we would think that it was the air.
Speaker 1:And they were like no, like it happens, like even when it's not blowing air like stuff like that, or they would tell us. It was like allegedly, you know, someone got killed around here or something like that, and we started talking about ghosts and stuff like that and that was about the the broom challenge. It was around that time okay, the broom challenge that, that you just leave it like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So there was this motherfucker prank me bro. I was like who the fuck did this shit, because I'm very fucking like. I believe in all this fucking yeah, scary, shit right and this fucking skeptical ass fucking decides to do this prank on me. I was like nah, fuck, no.
Speaker 2:So to explain what she's talking about, at the time there was kind of a YouTube trend or Facebook where you would get a broom and you would stand it up. Was there TikTok by then? Not yet. And so you would stand the broom on its end and it would just stand there and what you would do is you would do that kind of behind somebody, where they didn't see it, and they would turn around and there's just a broom standing. It was creepy and so that's what I did and so, yeah, we were talking about ghosts and it always seems to be around Halloween with us, and so we talked about starting a YouTube channel and like going to places and doing road trips.
Speaker 1:Like cemeteries and stuff. Like give us a good place to get like buried and stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so at one point.
Speaker 1:But David didn't want to die.
Speaker 2:Yeah, try not to die. At one point. But David didn't want to die yeah, try not to die.
Speaker 1:And so for some reason I don't remember why we went to main event on the other side of the valley. But I remember Brooklyn's graduation, I think.
Speaker 2:Maybe she graduated it was because of Brooklyn.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And so that trip, because you're not a traveler, I'm not a traveler.
Speaker 1:Guys, I'm such a homebody. I love the 956, but I'm not going to travel outside Brownsville. To be honest. Well, I'll go for an hour trip, but I'm not going to go over two, three hours. To be honest, I'm not going to go over there.
Speaker 2:So because of that I kind of knew our road trip thing's not going to work out. Yeah Right.
Speaker 1:This isn't gonna work like you didn't like it. You, I mean, you like the main event, but the driving part was like agony for you. Yeah, and I could tell the thing. The thing I think is like the adhd yeah and then you're just driving in the highway and you don't have anything to like pay attention to. It's like kills me yeah, so I knew right then but now we have tiktok, so I'm pretty sure I can handle it.
Speaker 2:So at the time I knew that wasn't going to work Right. But you got real into TikTok at that point and you were like you know what you need to get on this. It's like such an addiction.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's true. I told you to download TikTok, that's true.
Speaker 2:That's true and so funny story is you saw, you saw this food reviewer and she had like 26,000 views and she went to this. I think she went to the New York Deli or Main Street Deli in Brownsville. Main Street and you were like how the fuck does she have this you?
Speaker 1:know all this stuff.
Speaker 2:You should totally do this, because I go to restaurants all over.
Speaker 1:So David does the barbecue thing, he does like this whole food review thing, but he only does it for Facebook, for like his family and friends, and he has it public. But the thing is that he never went on tiktok.
Speaker 2:I was like, bro, just go on tiktok and do it, yeah so at the same time thanks to me, yes and so so also, covid happens around here too, and so now you and I are really like we can't do this paranormal shit, cause it's like COVID is going on and we know that the day the the traveling's not going to work, all this stuff. So I go off and I start my career in social media and and do your own thing by yourself on the COVID era.
Speaker 1:Yeah Right.
Speaker 2:And so during. With restaurants that were open Right Stuff like that, yeah, and so, ironically, the girl's video that you showed me is now a friend of mine.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's true.
Speaker 2:And so that's kind of a funny story.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And so You're welcome.
Speaker 2:And so, while we're doing, while I'm doing this Right, yeah, I'm like Time- after COVID it's like OK like okay, yeah, everything's opening up. Cool, everyone's vaccinated. You graduate, yeah, I graduate. We still hang out we still hang out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we talk once in a while. We keep updates and stuff like that and then we're like, hey, what about? Remember yeah that time we were talking about doing this and this and that, like what if? What if we actually move towards the plan?
Speaker 2:right and instead of doing all this fancy youtube stuff we just straight record and we do podcasts yeah and so that's how we started, and I didn't expect so many places to pick us up so quickly. We applied for nine or ten places to take us and we're on like 25 yeah and we have been listened to on every continent. It's crazy, though, we have views from all over the world.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it is even if it's just one, we just take it right, we just take it it's it's very humbling.
Speaker 2:It's been a wonderful ride yeah um you have the one where we got in a car wreck, but right besides need a little bit of an omission of the one the one day, but you truly have become one of my best friends oh for sure I don't, I don't know, almost losing our lives. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and so we've really been through it. Um, what would you say on your side? Like is your proudest moment of our episode so far, like of our journey so far?
Speaker 1:Of our journey.
Speaker 2:Yeah, on our podcast journey.
Speaker 1:That we survived, I guess.
Speaker 2:The accident yeah.
Speaker 1:No, I'm truly grateful that we actually survived and we're like okay, as of right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Even if, like, we have further things to work on, because it's still an ongoing case and stuff like that, yeah, so we still have another few months into, so I guess we could give an update, right. Yeah, yeah, we can do that To finish it off.
Speaker 2:So Bianca and I recently went and had to meet at the police station to sign some papers. They are going to try to prosecute the person who hit us. They said that if he pleads guilty after two months, this is going to be a thing of the past. But if he doesn't, then we're going to have to testify and it's going to be a long, drawn-out process.
Speaker 1:We're hoping to get the tapes, the body cams. We're hoping.
Speaker 2:So I think Bianca's hoping more than me, because I have heard I don't remember any of it Me neither.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:But I have heard that I was very violent.
Speaker 1:Oh shit.
Speaker 2:And that I was actually tackled because I was walking around.
Speaker 1:Well, also that, but I want to see myself knocked out. I haven't seen someone knock me out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so Bianca was knocked out. I am still dealing with health issues at this point. Yeah, I have an MRI. I may need surgery on my skull. We're hoping not, but to rule it out I have an MRI coming up, just in case we stop recording again. It might be because we're gonna keep taking these breaks, yeah, um, but hopefully we're out of the woods. Man, life has hit us so hard it's been a heck of a year.
Speaker 1:To be honest, it's been.
Speaker 2:That's the thing I love that our relationship is the way we talk or we message each other every single day, right, and even if it's like memes or or posts or like updates. Dumb videos.
Speaker 1:Dumb videos or anything like that.
Speaker 2:We message each other so much that I often send Bianca stuff and she responds. I just saw that Literally on the same route. Yeah, our algorithm is the same.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And so, but I mean the things that we've been through. I mean, you've had another kid yeah we've had the accident, we've lost people this year, this and it's still happening you know, like um. My wife is at my brother-in-law's funeral right now in California after we, You're taking some part of it. Yeah, yeah yeah, it's been busy, busy. Yeah, it's like real life is done.
Speaker 1:We're still trying to push the podcast guys and like we hope you guys understand like I tried posting on the website whenever on the Facebook page whenever David was like in recovery and stuff, but he wasn't even awake, yeah, you know. So David is awake now, but but the thing is that we're still going through a lot. Yeah, we're still hoping to get more episodes in. We don't plan on giving just because of whatever outside reason besides our personal life. Right, we do appreciate you guys. Yeah, through all this process, the listening, we hope you guys laugh with us because we take everything as a joke, honestly.
Speaker 2:That's.
Speaker 1:Even though it was near yeah.
Speaker 2:That is the best part of our relationship.
Speaker 1:And my wife is super confused.
Speaker 2:A lot of times she's like her jokes are so rough and you don't do anything about it and I'm like, cause it's Bianca, cause it's funny, yeah, and it's like you're the only person that roasts me to the level that you roast me.
Speaker 1:And I am. What was the last roast?
Speaker 2:I don't even know where it started.
Speaker 1:Oh I think it was. The lesson was like oh, thank God it was Bianca, Thank God it was Bianca in the car crash and not the dogs, because you're like I'll be dead if it was like going sandy.
Speaker 1:It was like, oh yeah, thank God it was Bianca, but, yeah, dead if it was like going sandy I was like oh yeah thank god it was bianca, but yeah, yeah so, but it's jokes, guys, like I take everything as a joke, like it's cool, and david knows this, so I don't, he doesn't take it hard. I don't take it hard. I hope you guys don't take it hard like that. Yeah, um, it's just my coping mechanism yeah, either you laugh it up. You laugh it up or you cry it out, and I prefer to laugh it up.
Speaker 2:I 100% think that's what it is.
Speaker 1:It's pretty amazing. What can I say?
Speaker 2:It's been an amazing year, bianca. Thank you for being my partner in this journey, because it has been crazy.

Speaker 1:We really don't.
Speaker 2:We get in enough accidents sober, we don't need any more accidents. However, I haven't told you this. Why? So I was recently in Fredericksburg. My friends all enjoy drinking wine.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:I don't drink wine.
Speaker 1:I don't do wine.
Speaker 2:We don't do wine.
Speaker 1:We don't drink wine. I don't do wine. We don't do wine. We don't do wine. I don't really drink.
Speaker 2:Angie does wine, angie does wine and her friends do wine, and so I went to Fredericksburg with my wife and our friends to go to all these wineries, et cetera, et cetera, and they're all getting blazed.
Speaker 1:Oh, you got some.
Speaker 2:Yes, did I tell you already? Yeah, so I'm going to to tell y'all okay, so I pull out, look I.
Speaker 1:I.
Speaker 2:I'm the designated driver because I don't, I don't drink, and so I'm driving.
Speaker 1:I hardly drink, I taste you. Yeah, you taste. That's 100, true, but you don't even get a buzz, it's just a little shot.
Speaker 2:I do just sips yeah and I switch to something else. So I'm driving my friends home, we're all drunk like super drunk, and right now in fredericksburg they're doing construction on all of their streets at once, for some reason, and so I stop at a red light and don't think much of it, turn right when it turns green and look up and there's a cop pulling me over and I'm pull over what's going on?
Speaker 1:you're not drunk, I'm not drunk. Right, it's a pull up, run and do a high speed chase wasn't speeding.
Speaker 2:I stopped at the light. I didn't. I waited till it was green, because I'm not in a rush, right, blah, blah. The cop comes over and he says that I stopped in a crosswalk when there's no paint on the ground. So I don't know how he knew that, but that he needs to check my if I don't have warrants and all this stuff right okay.
Speaker 2:And then he says I noticed that you're slurring your speech. Have you been drinking? And I say actually I have a traumatic brain injury, right. And everybody in the car like gasps, like oh no, don't tell him that, right, because I'm driving. Right With brain damage, but it's not damage like that. And I tell the guy I go, don't worry, it just affects my vision and my reflexes and everybody's like just don't make me walk in a straight line, because I probably couldn't do it, but anyway, my life is weird it's been weird.
Speaker 1:I mean, I went to work like two days after no, I got one day off and then the next day I went to work and they were like what happened? I was like I was in a car accident, like, oh, that's why you can't walk. I was like, yeah, I come to kind of sore, like what happened. And then, like weeks later, I got the pictures. I was like this is what happened. They're like what. Yeah, weeks later I got the pictures and I was like this is what happened. They're like what.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so this story that Bianca's telling, I wasn't even awake yet.
Speaker 1:No, yeah, he wasn't.
Speaker 2:I was like so like the first week after the accident. I don't remember anything, so I'm going to say people did things to me.
Speaker 1:They put you to sleep without consent.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it's like did you go to a pdd party? I probably did during that time. Allegedly, allegedly yeah, but I did when I got into my therapy you were all oiled up right, why do I keep sliding out of the bed? Yeah, maybe we should drink less when we record. Yeah, that's it for tonight. Thank you guys. Thank you guys, we will see you all next keep you posted, whatever happens next, bye.
