[Robb]: And welcome to another show of Don't

Get This Twisted. I am Rob, along with my co-host

2

::

[Robb]: as always, Tina. How you doing, Tina?

3

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I'm good, Rob. It seems

like forever since we've done this.

4

::

[Robb]: It's been a couple weeks. Yeah, you

vacationed and I edited the shows and got them

5

::

[Robb]: all up and running and all that good

stuff. This will think, I'm pretty sure this

6

::

[Robb]: will be episode 102 if I'm not wrong

here.

7

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: still kind of amazed we

got to a hundred.

8

::

[Robb]: Yes, this is 102.

9

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Nice.

10

::

[Robb]: I know, crazy, right? I still think

that's quite interesting. I know that

11

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I agree.

12

::

[Robb]: it's, I don't know, it's kind of a weird

thing. It's one of those things where you have

13

::

[Robb]: to kind of step back for a second and

be like, oh, holy crap. Like, it's a long time

14

::

[Robb]: and a lot of blood, sweat and tears.

15

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yep. And we, we actually

did 100. I really didn't think this was going

16

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: to get to 100. I don't

think either of us had any plans on what it

17

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: was going to be. We just

kind of let it evolve. So it's been,

18

::

[Robb]: Mm-hmm.

19

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: it's been fun.

20

::

[Robb]: Yeah, now it's 150. That's the next,

I think

21

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: That's our next target.

22

::

[Robb]: every 50 we should be kind of like patting

ourself on the back. I think that's pretty

23

::

[Robb]: good.

24

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yeah, only 50. Ah! Haha!

25

::

[Robb]: Yeah.

26

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yeah, only 50.

27

::

[Robb]: I mean, we could do every quarter if

we wanted to do every 25 episodes, but I think

28

::

[Robb]: every 50 from now on, we hit 100, then

150,

29

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: 50s good.

30

::

[Robb]: 200. I think those are pretty monumental

moments in where we get, like I said, I think

31

::

[Robb]: the average is like seven,

32

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

33

::

[Robb]: eight, so people give up really quick,

we don't give up.

34

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: You

35

::

[Robb]: You know.

36

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: don't

37

::

[Robb]: I mean, it's kinda

38

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: give

39

::

[Robb]: true.

40

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: up.

41

::

[Robb]: Die hard, yeah.

42

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Die hard.

43

::

[Robb]: Wouldn't be the first time someone said

that. I'm kind of a diehard, I don't give up

44

::

[Robb]: really easy. I have a

45

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yeah.

46

::

[Robb]: way of talking people into shit and

it keeps going and going and going.

47

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yep. I don't know, I think

they're willing participants though.

48

::

[Robb]: One could hope.

49

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Right? I get you.

50

::

[Robb]: Excuse me. So I threw some things at

you today and said, hey, find something for

51

::

[Robb]: us to talk about. And you did, you threw

like, I think five different things, so.

52

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yeah.

53

::

[Robb]: I think we're kinda good. We can kinda

throw these on the list of things to talk about

54

::

[Robb]: in the future, but today. We're going

to talk about full moons, because you said

55

::

[Robb]: that they affect human beings.

56

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

57

::

[Robb]: Mostly in the job that you have, you

see the difference in people. I'm trying to

58

::

[Robb]: be really nice when I say that. The

differences in people during the full moon

59

::

[Robb]: cycle.

60

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Right. Well, so I was driving

last night and there was a beautiful full moon.

61

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: It was nice and big and

full and I love it. I love when there's a full

62

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: moon. But I was thinking

about how crazy people drive because just in

63

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: the small trip that I took

from one place to the next, it seemed like

64

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I could have been in...

three to four accidents, you know, just by

65

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: coincidence, everything

worked out okay. But I was thinking, why do

66

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: people act like freaking

fools during a full moon? So of course I run

67

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: that by you and you're

like, that's not real.

68

::

[Robb]: Nah, I don't believe that nonsense,

but

69

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Thought we could talk about

it.

70

::

[Robb]: yeah. I mean, but I'm also not big on

the Zodiacs either. And I have a friend of

71

::

[Robb]: mine who literally would come on here

and he'd tell me all kinds of crazy shit about

72

::

[Robb]: who you should be with because of your

sign and all that kind of stuff, so maybe we'll

73

::

[Robb]: have my friend Eric on and he'll, because

he's deep in that Zodiac shit, deep.

74

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: We should have him on for

sure.

75

::

[Robb]: Which, you know, the Zodiac. obviously

the stars, the moon would be part of that,

76

::

[Robb]: and it is, you know, I always hear there,

someone will say, oh, I have this in Saturn's

77

::

[Robb]: moon, or I don't know, some kind of

weird shit like that.

78

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Hehehe

79

::

[Robb]: But I will, I typed in full moon and

what it does to people, and just a little block

80

::

[Robb]: that comes up on the first search, not

the website, but this is like a little search.

81

::

[Robb]: It says, the full moon has been associated

with increased violence, sexual activity, and

82

::

[Robb]: risk-taking behaviors, such as driving

fast, drinking alcohol. It also has been associated

83

::

[Robb]: with more crime committed, such as arson,

violent crime, and that people with illness

84

::

[Robb]: tend to have more seizures or accidents.

The full moon can also ignite sleepwalking

85

::

[Robb]: or early labor. The Full Moon definitely

affects humans' thinking and behavior, making

86

::

[Robb]: humans become hyperactive, moody, and

in increased sex drive. So I'm going to assume

87

::

[Robb]: there was probably some science done

to this because they probably interviewed people

88

::

[Robb]: during these cycles, and of course with

crime or violence. It's in the news. So

89

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yeah,

90

::

[Robb]: it's. easier to

91

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I know my

92

::

[Robb]: see.

93

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: friends that are in law

enforcement are like the worst people, the

94

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: worst

95

::

[Robb]: Hehehe

96

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: people come out when there's

a full moon.

97

::

[Robb]: Right.

98

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: You know, it's always like

their calls are longer or there's more of them.

99

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: The people are more like

just a little bit off more so than other times.

100

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I remember when I was growing

up being a mom or when I was watching... my

101

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: daughter grew up and her

friends, the ones that had their cycle, which

102

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I was included in that,

had a harder time if their cycle was during

103

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: a full moon as to if their

cycle was say in the middle of the month when

104

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: the moon was half full

or

105

::

[Robb]: Mm-hmm.

106

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: not full at all. Like it

was a completely different experience with

107

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: their cycles and People

have always said, oh, that's crazy. Like it

108

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: doesn't change anything.

109

::

[Robb]: Mm-hmm.

110

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Well, raising a daughter

is kind of crazy. And if you do that, you're

111

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: gonna find out a lot of

things that you didn't believe in are now true

112

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: for your daughter because

women are based in emotion. And so it's like,

113

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I realized just from watching

me and my friends and then my daughter and

114

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: her friends that the ones

that struggled the most had their cycle during

115

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: a full moon.

116

::

[Robb]: I'm looking on a site right here that's

healthline.com and they have an article on

117

::

[Robb]: full moons. Which is, I'm gonna say

something that's gonna come off kinda funny,

118

::

[Robb]: but I think it says something. Shakespeare,

a great writer in Othello, one of the characters

119

::

[Robb]: said that the moon has drawn too close

to the earth and driven men insane. So, that

120

::

[Robb]: being said, at that time period, a full

moon they would have known was closer to the

121

::

[Robb]: Earth because of its size. So obviously

even then, it was having an effect.

122

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm

123

::

[Robb]: Let's see what.

124

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I totally believe in it.

I know that when I'm doing hair, people will

125

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: act just a little bit more

off, not everybody, but people that are affected

126

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: by the moon cycle.

127

::

[Robb]: Mm-hmm.

128

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: They want things done to

their hair that they wouldn't normally want

129

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: done, or they're very neurotic

about what gets done to their hair where other

130

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: times they wouldn't be

at all. So... I notice when it's a full moon

131

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: and I'll say, it's not

a full moon, is it? Because it's kind of a

132

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: crazy day. And yeah, it's

a full moon.

133

::

[Robb]: Well, this also says, the idea that

a full moon can stir up emotions, provoke bizarre

134

::

[Robb]: behavior, and even cause physical illness

isn't just a theory trope. It's strongly held

135

::

[Robb]: belief even today. In fact, one study

says that nearly 81% of mental health professionals

136

::

[Robb]: believe full moons can make people ill.

137

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Hmm.

138

::

[Robb]: 81, that's pretty fucking high.

139

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Well,

140

::

[Robb]: I mean...

141

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: if you think about who

mental health experts are to begin with, you

142

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: know, they're not known

for being like... mentally sane themselves.

143

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I

144

::

[Robb]: Well,

145

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: can't believe

146

::

[Robb]: you know,

147

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I said that

148

::

[Robb]: gotta

149

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: but...

150

::

[Robb]: have some crazy people to tell you that

you're crazy.

151

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: right? And I do believe

in mental health, I do, just sometimes you

152

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: hear stories and...

153

::

[Robb]: Well,

154

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Gotta run with it.

155

::

[Robb]: here's kind of funny. For centuries,

physicians and philosophers blamed behavioral

156

::

[Robb]: changes on the pull of the moon. The

word lunatic, after all, stemmed from the idea

157

::

[Robb]: that changes in mental state related

to lunar cycles.

158

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

159

::

[Robb]: Wow. This is kind of getting, the lunar

effect is based on the belief that health and

160

::

[Robb]: behavior are altered during stages of

the lunar cycle, with some claim that can affect

161

::

[Robb]: everything from reproductive health

to sleep quality and beyond. Well, shit, man,

162

::

[Robb]: the moon must really screw me up because

I don't sleep. Well, actually, I do sleep,

163

::

[Robb]: I shouldn't say that. Sometimes,

164

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I have no problem sleeping.

165

::

[Robb]: let's see. All right. Let's see what

else it says.

166

::

[Robb]: Let's see and create a sleep.

167

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: as he owns.

168

::

[Robb]: Yeah, I'm tired today. Interesting,

I found that people fell asleep later and slept

169

::

[Robb]: less over all nights before a full moon.

Wow.

170

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Hmm I did this last time

171

::

[Robb]: Yeah.

172

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: this last full moon definitely

173

::

[Robb]: The full

174

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: slept

175

::

[Robb]: moon

176

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: less

177

::

[Robb]: may be associated with less deep sleep

and increased REM latency.

178

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Hmm

179

::

[Robb]: First full sleep. Let's see. Okay, here

we go.

180

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: And where are you getting

this information?

181

::

[Robb]: This is HealthLine.com. So a 2005 study,

oh, may affect males and females differently.

182

::

[Robb]: A 2015 study of 205 people found that

the full moon may affect sleep differently

183

::

[Robb]: in males and females. Many females sleep

less and have less REM during a full moon phase,

184

::

[Robb]: where males have more REM sleep closer

to the

185

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Hmm.

186

::

[Robb]: moon. Wow, we sleep better. Well,

187

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm

188

::

[Robb]: that kind of says something. I wonder

if women are more crazier during a full moon.

189

::

[Robb]: You guys aren't sleeping.

190

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Oh, so now it's just women?

191

::

[Robb]: No, well for sleep. No, if I'm gonna

go out on a limb and say that if you believe

192

::

[Robb]: that this is real and 81% of Crazy people

who say you're crazy Dude, that's a big I mean

193

::

[Robb]: that one's hard to argue. You know if

194

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm.

195

::

[Robb]: it said like 50% i'd be like, all right

Well, it's 50 but Hmm. That says a lot It says

196

::

[Robb]: I'm looking for full moon mood and mental

health. Uhhhhhhhhh It can increase symptoms

197

::

[Robb]: of certain mental health disorders including

anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and

198

::

[Robb]: schizophrenia.

199

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Ooh,

200

::

[Robb]: All

201

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: all the

202

::

[Robb]: the

203

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: fun

204

::

[Robb]: good ones,

205

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: ones. Yeah. Ha!

206

::

[Robb]: yeah. Top

207

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Oh

208

::

[Robb]: tier

209

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: no.

210

::

[Robb]: ones, like we don't mess

211

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Right?

212

::

[Robb]: around. Cardiovascular system may affect

your blood pressure.

213

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Hmm.

214

::

[Robb]: Full moon and violence, okay here. For

decades, possibly even centuries, people have

215

::

[Robb]: persisted in believing that there are

more assaults, traumas, and suicides during

216

::

[Robb]: full moon periods. Numerous researchers

have tackled these questions. It says they

217

::

[Robb]: don't think that it causes it, but there

is definitely more incidence of these things.

218

::

[Robb]: So they can't show that it is, but there's

definitely some

219

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: effects.

220

::

[Robb]: jump spikes in some of these things.

221

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yeah.

222

::

[Robb]: Although there was no significant difference

in admissions at trauma centers.

223

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mmm.

224

::

[Robb]: But I mean, and it does talk about menstrual

cycles and how there could be change in that

225

::

[Robb]: as well. So obviously you see it, or

you have seen it. I mean, it's not something

226

::

[Robb]: that I've ever really kind of. put into

like my science thing and said, hey, I wonder

227

::

[Robb]: what happens during this cycle. I think

it would be interesting now to kind of take

228

::

[Robb]: a look at that lunar cycle and kind

of see, you know, in a month, to see how people,

229

::

[Robb]: how it may affect other human beings

and what's going on. See, we have other things

230

::

[Robb]: that could affect that coming up. Obviously

warm weather or hot weather, it has a significant.

231

::

[Robb]: jump in violence.

232

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

233

::

[Robb]: And it's big. And I'm sure if you ask

your friends in the police department, as well

234

::

[Robb]: as the people that I know, it's a fact.

235

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: It

236

::

[Robb]: People

237

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: is a

238

::

[Robb]: get

239

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: fact.

240

::

[Robb]: angry in the heat. And when you're not

getting cool, aggression comes. And I'm sure

241

::

[Robb]: if you would add a full moon to that,

you're adding just on top of on top of on top

242

::

[Robb]: of.

243

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Right?

244

::

[Robb]: I mean, obviously we know that the moon

cycles. affect the ocean. No

245

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: They do.

246

::

[Robb]: moon, the oceans would not be doing

what they do. So my parents happened to be

247

::

[Robb]: on the East Coast in Maine and

248

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Nice.

249

::

[Robb]: they were telling, yeah, oh yeah, they

said it's amazingly beautiful there and green,

250

::

[Robb]: like as far as

251

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yes,

252

::

[Robb]: you can see,

253

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: very

254

::

[Robb]: which

255

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: much so.

256

::

[Robb]: I didn't know, but I guess I should

know because like Stephen King movies are all.

257

::

[Robb]: in Maine, and they're generally

258

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

259

::

[Robb]: very green and beautiful.

260

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yes.

261

::

[Robb]: But they said that they were at some

bay there, and in the morning, obviously, the

262

::

[Robb]: tide was out. And

263

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

264

::

[Robb]: they said that the tide in this certain

bay took the ocean back 300 yards.

265

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Wow.

266

::

[Robb]: Like they were walking where the ocean

is

267

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

268

::

[Robb]: in just a couple of hours, which just

goes to show you the strength and what the

269

::

[Robb]: moon and the ocean and the earth do.

270

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

271

::

[Robb]: Like to me, just think about that, it's

three football fields long

272

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yep.

273

::

[Robb]: that is now just wet rocks. And I guess

there's plant life in this particular. a bay

274

::

[Robb]: that has, like they have little water

pods that they collect water and they hold

275

::

[Robb]: on to water during this period that

the ocean is now receded and that's how they

276

::

[Robb]: survive. They're taking on the small

bits of water until the ocean comes back and

277

::

[Robb]: covers them again.

278

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: That's

279

::

[Robb]: That's

280

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: really cool.

281

::

[Robb]: cool, man. That just goes to show you

that Mother nature is an amazing, amazing thing.

282

::

[Robb]: And the moon is part of that.

283

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm. I agree

284

::

[Robb]: And you know that the moon, or I mean,

I would have to look at the science behind

285

::

[Robb]: it, but the moon is part of the earth.

286

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: It is.

287

::

[Robb]: So this was a much larger planet and

that big ball in the sky is just another piece

288

::

[Robb]: of this planet that went out there and

so after millions and millions of years it's

289

::

[Robb]: pretty amazing to think that another

piece of this planet is now orbiting us and

290

::

[Robb]: keeping our oceans and things in check.

291

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I think when it comes to

nature, everything has a balance. Everything.

292

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: So it's just our way or

their way, the moon's way, of keeping things

293

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: in order.

294

::

[Robb]: Yeah, well, because no moon, we're in

a lot of trouble.

295

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

296

::

[Robb]: The moon ever gets out of where it's

at, where there's gonna be major problems.

297

::

[Robb]: Kind of like our sun. No sun, we don't

have to worry about anything else after that,

298

::

[Robb]: it'll just disappear.

299

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yeah, there definitely

300

::

[Robb]: S-

301

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: needs to be both. We need

to have what we have. And it's like the whole

302

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: system works together.

303

::

[Robb]: Have you seen, have you seen, since

you probably see it way more than me, over

304

::

[Robb]: the years, did that affect the people

around you? Like, could you see things in like

305

::

[Robb]: maybe mom, dad, brother, husband?

306

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

307

::

[Robb]: Like, was it significant or was it like

smaller things where you're just like, God,

308

::

[Robb]: it must be a full moon or it must be

around that?

309

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Um, my mom used to get

really irritable around a full moon. I remember

310

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: like, especially after

she had her brain aneurysm and they did the

311

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: surgery on it. Um, I noticed

that she was more affected than ever after

312

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: she had the aneurysm, but

everything about her was different after the

313

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: aneurysm. So I don't know

if it was, it wasn't specifically tied to the

314

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: moon, but I know that the

full moon really... um kind of it could put

315

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: her you know kind of put

her off tilter like she wasn't she wasn't quite

316

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: the same you know she was

just a little more edgy a little more aggravated

317

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: a little more pissy you

know she i noticed that with her my dad and

318

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: my brother they kind of

just like go into their own shell so there's

319

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: really no difference you

could tell with them they're pretty consistent

320

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: um for me i noticed it

because of my friends and all of our cycles

321

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: and seeing how everybody

else did things. Definitely with my daughter,

322

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: definitely. But I would

definitely agree with the statement that it

323

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: affects women more, or

with more intensity.

324

::

[Robb]: Mm-hmm.

325

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Maybe not more, but with

more intensity than it does men. But it's got

326

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: to affect us because we

are mostly water. And if the moon affects the

327

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: water and the tides, wouldn't

it also affect us?

328

::

[Robb]: Mm-hmm. I mean that would kind of make

sense. I mean there's got to be some kind of

329

::

[Robb]: pull

330

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm

331

::

[Robb]: I mean, the funny thing is that it's

like the old, people have been saying this

332

::

[Robb]: for years. I remember when we were younger,

if someone was going crazy, you'd say, man,

333

::

[Robb]: it must be a full moon.

334

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

335

::

[Robb]: So these are definitely things that

have been passed down over and over and over

336

::

[Robb]: and over and over. Because we've really,

we've really seen that. or at least I remember

337

::

[Robb]: it being told to me by my family members.

Like if you

338

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

339

::

[Robb]: were having a bad day, the first thing

they was, things were said like, oh, it must

340

::

[Robb]: be a full moon outside. And then the

crazier thing is when it was. You'd be like,

341

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Right?

342

::

[Robb]: oh, shit, me. Or then, mm-hmm.

343

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Maybe

344

::

[Robb]: Or, and

345

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: it is affecting me.

346

::

[Robb]: you can even go back to the old werewolf.

347

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Ah, yeah.

348

::

[Robb]: Right? Those were the things that...

I mean, obviously taking the effects of a full

349

::

[Robb]: moon and... if you had the animal in

you, it came out during the full moon cycle.

350

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Right?

351

::

[Robb]: So maybe there is... maybe there's more

to this than we think, you know? Let's see

352

::

[Robb]: if there's anything about that. Because...

These are things that are, you know, old wives'

353

::

[Robb]: tales or whatever, but they've lasted,

I mean, obviously since Shakespeare. These

354

::

[Robb]: are things that have been passed down

and

355

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

356

::

[Robb]: told to all of us.

357

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Right?

358

::

[Robb]: So I find it maybe,

359

::

[Robb]: obviously there's more to this than.

than we're

360

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: than it being

361

::

[Robb]: thinking.

362

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: just an old wives tale.

363

::

[Robb]: I mean, again, it's folklore to me,

but

364

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

365

::

[Robb]: there's definitely something to it,

to think that over a lifetime of many families,

366

::

[Robb]: these are things that have always been

passed down.

367

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Right?

368

::

[Robb]: So, again, I can't say that. that I

would say I believe in it, but it's definitely

369

::

[Robb]: coming from people who have studied

humans that they believe that it is. And it

370

::

[Robb]: could be because, like you said, we're

water, we're electricity,

371

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

372

::

[Robb]: right? These are also things that are,

the moon helps with our weather systems.

373

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm

374

::

[Robb]: So these are things that are continually.

changing, so why wouldn't we change?

375

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I agree. I totally

376

::

[Robb]: So

377

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: agree.

378

::

[Robb]: it's a.

379

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: P'Ci. I live mostly in

a world of feeling like everything is creative

380

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: and My job is creative.

My life is creative. I'm always Making something

381

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: doing something that's

got a creative like part to it. So it would

382

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: make sense that I would

have more emotion, more... Like things would

383

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: affect me more than say

somebody who was like a polar opposite, say

384

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: an engineer because they're

thinking is logical and scientific and exact.

385

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: And if it's not proven,

it's not right yet. You know, like there's

386

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: no...

387

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: There's a complete difference

in how my, I can't tell you why I feel the

388

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: way I feel, but nine times

out of 10, if you're around, you will see.

389

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I would say it's even more

than nine times out of 10. Most of the time

390

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: you will see that I was

right in what I said, but could I tell you

391

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: how I felt it? Absolutely

not.

392

::

[Robb]: Right.

393

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: So it's, for me, it's like

I only go by what I feel with that. I mean,

394

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I know the science behind

it. I'm not an idiot, but my intuition has

395

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: never proven to be incorrect

with me. So the feelings, everything that the

396

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: moon stands for, I roll

with.

397

::

[Robb]: Well, and it's funny you say that since

you are Native American.

398

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

399

::

[Robb]: They have also been keeping track of

full moons

400

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Thank you.

401

::

[Robb]: for long, long periods of time.

402

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

403

::

[Robb]: And actually gave them names for each

moon in the full moon

404

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Right,

405

::

[Robb]: cycle.

406

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: right.

407

::

[Robb]: The January was the wolf moon. February

408

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

409

::

[Robb]: the snow moon. March the worm moon,

pink moon in April, flower moon in May, the

410

::

[Robb]: strawberry moon in June, June looked

like the, because it was time to pick strawberries.

411

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

412

::

[Robb]: July was the buck moon, because I'm

assuming that buck started coming back into

413

::

[Robb]: the fold.

414

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

415

::

[Robb]: August was the Sturgeon Moon, because

they probably came back upriver. September,

416

::

[Robb]: the Corn Moon, what do you know?

417

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: harvest time.

418

::

[Robb]: Harvest time. October was the Hunter's

Moon. That's probably because winter was coming

419

::

[Robb]: upon us and you had to go and start

hunting. Let's see, November was the Beaver

420

::

[Robb]: Moon. Let's see if it says why.

421

::

[Robb]: Oh, because it was time to start looking

for protection.

422

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mmm.

423

::

[Robb]: Most New Americans reference all cold,

because of cold temperatures. And December

424

::

[Robb]: was the cold moon, go figure, because

December

425

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: It's

426

::

[Robb]: in

427

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: cold.

428

::

[Robb]: most parts, pretty. So these are things

that obviously the moon cycles have been going

429

::

[Robb]: on for, since the dawn of man. Like.

And of course, generally during full moons,

430

::

[Robb]: in a lot of these states and plains,

you could hunt by it because it was so bright.

431

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

432

::

[Robb]: So you would go out at nighttime and

actually do hunting because you could actually

433

::

[Robb]: see. And that's kind of my favorite

thing about the full moon is being able to,

434

::

[Robb]: mostly on a really clear night, Probably

not where we live, because there's so many

435

::

[Robb]: streetlights now. But if you go to like

up in like Santa Clarita, or like where I lived

436

::

[Robb]: in Camarillo, parts of Oxnard where

it's just not, you know it's a lot of farmland,

437

::

[Robb]: so they don't have lights or anything

in a lot of them. Those bright moons, I remember

438

::

[Robb]: walking out where I lived in Camarillo,

and we would turn the lights off at night,

439

::

[Robb]: right? And... Our street probably had

one street light every four houses.

440

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Okay.

441

::

[Robb]: Just enough to kind of give you a little

light driving down the street. And I remember

442

::

[Robb]: walking out very late one night, like

2.30 in the morning to get something out of

443

::

[Robb]: my car. Me and my roommate were up bullshitting

around, talking some nonsense. We were always

444

::

[Robb]: throwing our... our relationship issues

off of each other. And I remember walking outside

445

::

[Robb]: and it was like the light was on. Like

it was so bright. And those are the things

446

::

[Robb]: that I recall about Full Moon is just

being out gallivanting around as a kid. But

447

::

[Robb]: now to think about it, like maybe all

those years, you know, we were having a bunch

448

::

[Robb]: of fun during these Full Moon times,

449

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Because it was a full moon.

450

::

[Robb]: Yeah, so it really was something that

was changing our chemistry for the week leading

451

::

[Robb]: up to it.

452

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

453

::

[Robb]: So, you know what I mean, I find it

definitely an interesting thing, kind of like

454

::

[Robb]: the zodiac, where if you believe in

the stars that are aligned and that we're all

455

::

[Robb]: part of that, it would kind of make

the same thing. So... I think this next month

456

::

[Robb]: though, I'm gonna kinda do my thing

of looking into this maybe, and seeing if people

457

::

[Robb]: change. I'm gonna look at it, I have

a little thing on my watch. I have a lunar

458

::

[Robb]: cycle on one of the watch faces that

I can

459

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

460

::

[Robb]: download. I think I'm gonna see halfway

through, see how... how the half moon, if there's

461

::

[Robb]: any difference in people, mostly because

I have someone that lives in the house, I'd

462

::

[Robb]: like to see if he, if it affects the

kidney. Because right now he's

463

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: You should.

464

::

[Robb]: kind of an asshole.

465

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: And it's a full moon.

466

::

[Robb]: Yeah, he's just, yeah, he's being a

total butt head right now. So it's, maybe there

467

::

[Robb]: is something to that because he's definitely

not like that all the time. But

468

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

469

::

[Robb]: I'm gonna take a little of your advice

here and I wanna see for myself.

470

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: You should definitely look

at people's driving, like your drive on the

471

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: way to and from work. See

how

472

::

[Robb]: And I

473

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: frustrated

474

::

[Robb]: have a good one.

475

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: you get with it. Yeah,

you do. And I would say if you are around women,

476

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: see how they change, but

that may be subtle for a while.

477

::

[Robb]: Mm-hmm. Oh man, I

478

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: What

479

::

[Robb]: was gonna

480

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: else?

481

::

[Robb]: make a joke about men being bitches,

but

482

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Don't, don't, they're already

being treated partially enough. It's not that.

483

::

[Robb]: I know, but there's a couple guys at

my work that I would... Actually,

484

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: You

485

::

[Robb]: the

486

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: think

487

::

[Robb]: guy

488

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: they're being

489

::

[Robb]: sitting next

490

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: bitches

491

::

[Robb]: to...

492

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: because of the time of

the month it is

493

::

[Robb]: Yeah,

494

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: or?

495

::

[Robb]: because it's a full moon.

496

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: You know it affects everybody,

nobody's

497

::

[Robb]: Because they're,

498

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: exempt from it.

499

::

[Robb]: the one guy, there's a guy who sits

next to me and I love him to death, but you

500

::

[Robb]: know, his this last week, he's been,

he's been a little testy.

501

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Well is there other stuff

going on in his life?

502

::

[Robb]: Yeah, of course there is. Come on.

503

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: and it's women related.

504

::

[Robb]: Oh yeah.

505

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Well, there you have it.

Ha ha.

506

::

[Robb]: Yeah, I mean, look,

507

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I mean, let's face it.

508

::

[Robb]: we can throw the jokes in there about

like, you know, relationships and full moons

509

::

[Robb]: and people. This show always kind of

circles back to relationships.

510

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Does it?

511

::

[Robb]: Yeah, we do a lot of that, we do a lot

of that.

512

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Hmm,

513

::

[Robb]: And they

514

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: they

515

::

[Robb]: seem

516

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: didn't notice.

517

::

[Robb]: to do well, so maybe this is turning

into a relationship show more than it is anything

518

::

[Robb]: else. That's

519

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I'm sorry.

520

::

[Robb]: okay, I like talking about it, it is

what it is. Look, you gotta live and learn,

521

::

[Robb]: and

522

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Right?

523

::

[Robb]: part of that would be if you believe

in the moon changing people, you should be

524

::

[Robb]: able to react and. be ready for that.

If it's something that you can see in your

525

::

[Robb]: friends and family and mates,

526

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Well,

527

::

[Robb]: maybe

528

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: even

529

::

[Robb]: you can circumvent it.

530

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: people that are awakened,

danced

531

::

[Robb]: Mm-hmm.

532

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: by the light of a full

moon,

533

::

[Robb]: That is very true. I

534

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: they

535

::

[Robb]: mean,

536

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: believe that

537

::

[Robb]: the

538

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: there's

539

::

[Robb]: pagans

540

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: power

541

::

[Robb]: have been doing

542

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: in that.

543

::

[Robb]: that for a long time.

544

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: If you're into wearing

crystals and things, you're supposed to charge

545

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: them during the full moon,

which means to take them off and put them in

546

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: the moonlight and let the

negative energy drip off of them.

547

::

[Robb]: All right.

548

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I'm

549

::

[Robb]: More

550

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: trying to

551

::

[Robb]: Mambo

552

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: think of what

553

::

[Robb]: Jhambo.

554

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: else. More, yeah, but you

know, people do this stuff. I

555

::

[Robb]: No,

556

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: mean,

557

::

[Robb]: I know. I mean, look,

558

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: being

559

::

[Robb]: if crystals

560

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: native,

561

::

[Robb]: were...

562

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I see people doing a lot

of stuff and I'm like, they do that, too, because,

563

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: you know, I'm raised in

a totally different world than what the native

564

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: world is. You know what

I

565

::

[Robb]: Correct.

566

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: mean?

567

::

[Robb]: Exactly.

568

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: But people believe that

shit.

569

::

[Robb]: No, wholeheartedly. I mean,

570

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: My

571

::

[Robb]: I'm

572

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: mom

573

::

[Robb]: not a...

574

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: used to hang her crystals.

575

::

[Robb]: Yeah, I'm not a big thing on crystals.

I did a... I put a camera up of my old job

576

::

[Robb]: in a crystal place in...

577

::

[Robb]: I wanna say Agora. Either Agora or West,

it might've been Westlake. So I'm at

578

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Okay.

579

::

[Robb]: this place and there's, I mean, bolder

size fucking crystals. Big,

580

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

581

::

[Robb]: and I'm talking like massive. This lady

is sitting there and I'm putting up this camera

582

::

586

::

[Robb]: Your hand does not feel better.

587

[Tina Marie Garcia]: You know, there is such

thing in medicine as the suggestion of health,

588

[Tina Marie Garcia]: you know, that if you believe

in something enough that you can manifest

589

::

::

[Robb]: Yes.

594

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: can't tell people that

up her ass and see what happened.

596

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: She may glow. What then?

No.

597

::

[Robb]: Mm-hmm, mm. That's a great way of looking

at it. It's all

::

[Robb]: boop.

602

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: whoa, I believe now.

603

::

[Robb]: Yeah, and I mean, look at that. I mean,

maybe that's why people were like big on moon

604

::

[Robb]: rocks.

605

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

606

::

[Robb]: Right? You know,

607

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: You want

608

::

[Robb]: you

609

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: to

610

::

[Robb]: bring.

611

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: hear, you want to hear

a stupid story about moon rocks?

612

::

[Robb]: Sure, let's hear it.

613

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Okay. So I, from time to

time we'll go and it's, it's not a church per

614

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: se, but it's for people

that are spiritual to go and, and do a guided

615

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: like meditation and, and

uh, just like, it's like church for people

616

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: that are into that stuff

and the medical, medical phys... shit

617

::

[Robb]: Metaphysical?

618

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: metaphysical thank you

uh rolled so my cousin used to ask me to go

619

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: with her so i went with

her and these people brought in all kinds of

620

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: rocks and stones and things

that they'd sit around them before they'd meditate

621

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: and this one rock it was

a moon rock it kept rolling off this lady and

622

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: landing at my feet like

three or four times and she goes this rock

623

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: doesn't belong to me it

belongs to you and she gave it to me like

624

::

[Robb]: Hmm.

625

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Just because the rock kept

rolling off of her lap. Like

626

::

[Robb]: Yeah.

627

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I thought that was kind

of funny, but you know what that rock? Even

628

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: through the move. I didn't

lose it It sat in my pocket a lot and I don't

629

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: always wear clothes with

pockets, but I didn't lose that rock It was

630

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: weird. It was almost like

it wanted to stick to me

631

::

[Robb]: Right?

632

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: now that it do you I normally

believe in that? No, of course

633

::

[Robb]: Nah.

634

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: not. But when I saw it

happen so many times, I'm like, oh my gosh,

635

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: she was mad She was mad

that her rock wanted to take off

636

::

[Robb]: Yeah,

637

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: on her. Mm hmm.

638

::

[Robb]: just trying to go home with you.

639

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: And it always ended up

like back with my feet. That was just a

640

::

[Robb]: Oh

641

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: stupid

642

::

[Robb]: man.

643

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: story, but that was about

a moon rock.

644

::

[Robb]: Well, it's good. I mean, obviously it

understood where its new home was and it wanted

645

::

[Robb]: to hang out with you.

646

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I'm looking at it right

now. Like it

647

::

[Robb]: Ah,

648

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: hasn't

649

::

[Robb]: see?

650

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: left anything.

651

::

[Robb]: Nice, nice.

652

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: She's like, be careful

because it wants to get away. I'm like, really?

653

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Because I moved with this

thing and it was in my pocket and I never lost

654

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: it. And I'm absent minded.

Like I put stuff down and I can't find some

655

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: eyebrow pencil that I bought.

And so how did this rock stay with me? Because

656

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: eyebrow pencil is important

when you have light eyebrows, right?

657

::

[Robb]: Right?

658

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: And I can't find it. but

I know where my rock is.

659

::

[Robb]: I don't have to worry about any kind

of eyebrow pencils.

660

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: sure you don't. You

661

::

[Robb]: Mine

662

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: don't.

663

::

[Robb]: are quite large. And the good story

about the one time that I let you

664

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: You

665

::

[Robb]: wax them. Yeah, they actually looked

good. I just didn't wanna go through that shit

666

::

[Robb]: again. That's just rough, man.

667

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Somehow I'm involved in

several people's eyebrow stories.

668

::

[Robb]: That shit is brutal, man. That shit

will, that shit will send you to the moon.

669

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: You know, one of my exes

who, he had a unibrow and I just couldn't deal

670

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: with it. So

671

::

[Robb]: Mm-hmm.

672

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I started waxing his eyebrows.

He still this day gets them done. And I don't

673

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: think he really needs to

for the unibrow anymore, but he still gets

674

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: his eyebrows. I'm proud.

I'm proud that I made that.

675

::

[Robb]: Yeah, I mean I don't have a unibrow.

I just got these big bushy eyebrows

676

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yeah,

677

::

[Robb]: like

678

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: you have some big

679

::

[Robb]: but

680

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: eyebrows.

681

::

[Robb]: uh, you know It only took one time

682

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yeah.

683

::

[Robb]: And I was like fuck that shit

684

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: You know,

685

::

[Robb]: is brutal

686

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I wax my eyebrows like

once a week myself. Yeah.

687

::

[Robb]: And, uh, well, and at that point that

was at that, the salon you worked out over

688

::

[Robb]: there. And I remember going in there

and there was like 25 girls around me watching

689

::

[Robb]: me get my eyebrows done.

690

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Well, you

691

::

[Robb]: And

692

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: like that part of it.

693

::

[Robb]: yeah, but until they all started laughing

at me and they were like, and I was like, look,

694

::

[Robb]: I get hit with chairs and like this

shit hurts. Like it's such soft tissue and

695

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

696

::

[Robb]: mostly looking at it now, like, like

I got a shit ton of tattoos and,

697

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Right? And you're gonna

698

::

[Robb]: and

699

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: complain about it waxing.

700

::

[Robb]: But it's different, it's like the soft

tissue for a tattoo, like near your armpit

701

::

[Robb]: or underneath the backside of your arm,

it does hurt. Like I couldn't imagine

702

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

703

::

[Robb]: someone tattooing like eyelids. Where

704

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Well the top

705

::

[Robb]: it's,

706

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: of my foot hurt like a

707

::

[Robb]: yeah,

708

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: mother.

709

::

[Robb]: because it's all soft tissue and bone,

710

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yeah,

711

::

[Robb]: cartilage,

712

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: yeah. It

713

::

[Robb]: so

714

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: sucks.

715

::

[Robb]: it just goes to show you that, you know,

pain is kind of a weird thing as well.

716

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

717

::

[Robb]: and maybe the lunar cycle needs to help

with that kind of thing. You know,

718

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mmm.

719

::

[Robb]: because man, it's a bizarre thing. I'm

going, like I said, over the next month, I'm

720

::

[Robb]: going to see how people are different.

I'm going to bounce it off other people. I

721

::

[Robb]: want to kind of come back maybe in a

month. We'll do like, not a full show, but

722

::

[Robb]: definitely like an update because I'm

going to I'm gonna ask other people now what

723

::

[Robb]: they think to kind of get a bigger pool

of people to

724

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm,

725

::

[Robb]: see what they think. I know

726

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: and if

727

::

[Robb]: a couple

728

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: any of

729

::

[Robb]: of

730

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: you

731

::

[Robb]: them.

732

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: listening want to chime

in on our social media

733

::

[Robb]: Yeah, for sure, because I'd like to

see what people really think. Because, I mean,

734

::

[Robb]: obviously, if you look at these statistics

that I read, they've polled a lot of people.

735

::

[Robb]: This isn't

736

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

737

::

[Robb]: like a pool of, hey, we've asked 25

738

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: hundred

739

::

[Robb]: people.

740

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: people.

741

::

[Robb]: They asked 500 people.

742

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

743

::

[Robb]: So these are things that are that are

much larger than that. And

744

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: And

745

::

[Robb]: I.

746

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I'm sure if you asked hairdressers,

teachers, nurses, cops, they would all have

747

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: a very different opinion.

Like I

748

::

[Robb]: Mm-hmm.

749

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: said, then say like a bookkeeper

or an engineer.

750

::

[Robb]: Right,

751

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: You

752

::

[Robb]: well

753

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: know what I mean?

754

::

[Robb]: someone who deals with

755

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Ask

756

::

[Robb]: lots

757

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: the restaurant

758

::

[Robb]: of people.

759

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: staff. Holy

760

::

[Robb]: Oh

761

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: cow.

762

::

[Robb]: yeah.

763

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I cannot

764

::

[Robb]: Well.

765

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: believe how people get

treated just for serving somebody their food.

766

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I wouldn't put up with

that shit.

767

::

[Robb]: I'm going to ask the nurse, my friend

768

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mmm.

769

::

[Robb]: down the street, because I'm sure that,

you know, I mean, there are already psychotic

770

::

[Robb]: people going to the doctor. Could you

imagine the ailments they think they have during

771

::

[Robb]: a full moon cycle, where they're just

like, you know, I'm having this problem. And

772

::

[Robb]: maybe they are, but what I'm saying

is that I wonder what the flow is of between,

773

::

[Robb]: you know, off full moon and how people

are.

774

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

775

::

[Robb]: I've heard stories from her, just people.

And again, we're also in a service industry.

776

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Mm-hmm.

777

::

[Robb]: But some of the stories, man, the medical

field is horrible, and I have a friend who

778

::

[Robb]: was also in the restaurant field. Horrible.

779

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Oh yeah.

780

::

[Robb]: And they're horrible anyway. People

are just horrible to people who serve food

781

::

[Robb]: anyway.

782

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: That is no joke.

783

::

[Robb]: That is no, I couldn't do

784

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: No

785

::

[Robb]: that.

786

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: joke.

787

::

[Robb]: That's why I'm

788

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I heard

789

::

[Robb]: nice.

790

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: it in a restaurant. So

I was in a restaurant over the weekend and

791

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: I heard I was walking to

the restroom and I heard this man like chastising

792

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: this worker. I don't know

what the worker did. He was just giving him

793

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: shit

794

::

[Robb]: Right?

795

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: and I came back out of

the bathroom and the guy was still this is

796

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: still like and getting

like in this guy's face and the guy was like

797

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: taking it and finally I

said no job is worth this abuse and this guy's

798

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: an asshole walk away and

so the kid walked away really quick and Then

799

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: a manager came over and

I said I don't know why you would let Somebody

800

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: that works for you put

up with the shit that guy just said but there's

801

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: nothing that kid could

have done that Would have made it that much

802

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: of a drama

803

::

[Robb]: Right.

804

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: because I was worried for

the kid, so I spoke up.

805

::

[Robb]: Those are the kind of things you just

have to walk up and go, I'll pay for the meal,

806

::

[Robb]: leave.

807

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Yeah, uh, get out

808

::

[Robb]: Yeah.

809

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: of here.

811

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Because that's you know,

nobody's perfect and this whole bullshit of

812

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: trying to Make everybody

perfect or we have to hold this certain standard

813

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: like come on everybody

makes mistakes Yeah, you want to try to be

814

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: the best you can but perfect

is never going to be accomplished ever so have

815

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: a little bit of like Patience

for people, you know

816

::

[Robb]: Yeah.

817

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: but and I saw that during

the full moon just for shits and giggles, I

818

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: had to throw that

819

::

[Robb]: I'll

820

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: in.

821

::

[Robb]: use the big word for today. It's have

a little decorum.

822

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Oh, there you go.

823

::

[Robb]: have a better decorum. You got to say

it with a bit of

824

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: Quit

825

::

[Robb]: the accent,

826

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: being

827

::

[Robb]: yeah?

828

::

[Tina Marie Garcia]: an asshole.

829

::

[Robb]: Stop being, yeah. Stop being a fucking

[Tina Marie Garcia]: my accent. Yes.

833

::

[Robb]: so during these wild full moon times

you know take it easy on people look up at

834

[Robb]: the sky and if it looks full chill the

fuck out
