• 1:01
  Speaker 2: since we're all attached inside the treehouse now in romantic relationships,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Me married for quite a while, Raj in a new
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: committed relationship, and Trey has started dating somebody new. They
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: are now in the fourth or fifth date stage, and
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: he's already made her dinner at home, so they're on
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: a very good path to commitment. Hood. So this story
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't immediately apply to us, but it is going to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: be something interesting for everybody else that's living in Singletom.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: All right, there's a new toxic dating trend, a new
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: toxic dating trend. Throning is the heartbreaking new dating trend
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: which I'm fascinated by because I grew up with it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I grew up calling it a blumpkin. I don't necessarily
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: know it's a dating trend. It's more of a sex act.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: But admittedly I did not read the entirety of the story.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I stopped at the headline that Tray hent so I
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: might be wrong about what throning actually is. You are,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: well damn it. I was. I actually had high hopes.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: But now everybody knows. You know what a blumpkin is?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's it's It's like a lot of things
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I've I've found out. It wasn't because I went looking.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: It's because I was around a dirty old engineer, dirty
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: old radio engineer.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, tell us about you.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: You and Jay?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: You know him too? I tell you knew his name
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and you knew who I was talking about. One of
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the finest engineers I've ever had the pleasure of working
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: with in my broadcasting career. And what a mouth that
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: came out wrong. He had a very colorful tongue. I'm
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: gonna read the story now. Throwning is a heartbreaking new
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: dating trend has social media ruined romance for gen Z.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Beware daters. Not everyone who says they're looking for their
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: king or queen has good intentions. By the way, someone
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: write this down as a topic for another day. But
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: we can't all be kings and queens. So you people
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: that use those terms need to stop it. You need
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to be a little more judicious with throwing around king
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and queen. We can't all be that same thing with
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: alpha male. We can't all be an alpha male because
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: that gets the whole definition of it. Anyway, the new
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: dating term called throning, which means dating someone to raise
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: your social status. Oh hmm, I like Jay Walker's version better.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: That's certainly more entertaining.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm, I think I think I think Jay's version
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: would lower your social status. Yeah, but you different kind
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: of lat dealer as hell on only fans, Yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: We, I mean this was you were climbing the social ladder,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: gold digging.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Why does gen Z have to put a name on
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: every bleep thing? I mean, I get I've thought about
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: it because as much as I want to say that
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: their whole language and the words and everything else is stupid.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: We did it too, yeah, you know.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I from Valley Girl to all the crap fast Times
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: at Ridgemont High, all the things. Yeah, we had stupid
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: words too. I get that. But they label everything with.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: A positive connotation. There's always positivity to it. Is it
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: rhyme sounds better than gold digging?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Raj is right. Now, this doesn't apply to every
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: single new term that we all have to learn, but
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: typically they do have a little bit of a positive
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: slant to it, like quiet quitting, so it's done quietly demrror. Yeah,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: they're just like, like you're a throwning here, which is
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: just gold digging or clout chasing. Those two have negative connotations,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: but it's throwing. It's like, oh this is it's a
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: bad thing, but it's a positive sounding term.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Is it a positive Is it a positive connotation or
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: is it because they're so fucking passive aggressive that they
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: they don't want anything that might actually be.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Our imply conflict.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I mean. That's why they have a
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: positive spin on everything, and so it's not taken to
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: that level of Yeah, like I mean, they have a term,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: do you know what I'm not It was different in
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: our day. But do you know what barebacking is.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, we've talked about it quite a bit.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's right. Yeah, yeah, so I mean that's the
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: same thing like just going without a backpack.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Mean that sounds a lot nicer than what we used.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Different, right, same thing with raw dogging. Yeah, like like
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and I used this the other day when I was
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: at my dentist. I was like, yeah, I had to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: tell her. It's like you actually you realize you raw
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: dog that injection. Again, I'm really just full of these
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: really horrible things I could be saying. When you get
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: an injection to number your mouth, you're supposed to get
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: like the little topical jelly, so the needle doesn't hurt
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: so bad, and when it goes into your gum and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: into your face that they forgot to do that, so
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: they just raw dog the injection. So I got to
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: use that term in a proper context. But yeah, so
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the term might have a more positive sound to it,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: but the definition is still typically a negative thing, like
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the throning. It's bad to date just to raise your
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: social status. But at least a term doesn't sound so
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: so much like an attack m.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: But I mean people have done this since the beginning
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: of time, like dated people with a higher social stature
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: than yourself. Yeah, I mean that's that's I think fairly
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: common it is.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: But saying it's like a lot of these things that
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: get these brand new terms, they're not new things, they're
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: not new scenarios, they're not new examples, they're just given
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: new names.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Well, gen Z thinks they are discovering all this for
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the first fucking time, and so they have to put
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a name for it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like they're running around with a brother pea
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: chutch and they got to label everything that they think
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: they've discovered. Meanwhile, these things have been around forever.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you have you guys had the
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: luxury of talking to somebody that's gen Z.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I have tenants that are gen Z.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I had employees that were gen Z. I work with
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: gen Z. Yeah, every every day.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: That's why that's why Trey's a little more amped up
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: about this than we are. I mean, I think it
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: just depends on I think it depends on the representative
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: of gen Z that you get.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: I think Trey one more miracle away from sainthood. If
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: you had, if you if you had to have them
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: as employees, and you didn't murder.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Almost all of them. Everyone at Parliament it's gen Z
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I can't.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: I can't do it.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I can't talk to them. It's just there's just so
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: much stupid happening.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I can't do it. It is interesting, though, because like the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: whole new uh the new viral trend sensation thing that's
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: a cultural whatever to not just gen Z, but more
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: like Jen Alpha, the whole six seven trend is something
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: that I think the three of us would have difficulty
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: wrapping our brains around. I've tried for like five minutes,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and I said, you know, I don't need to know
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: anymore about what I already know. It's basically a nothing thing,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: and that's what's made it so popular. I saw a
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: video this morning of a bunch of kids at an
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: in and out Like I'm talking like that. You just
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: saw that, Yeah, it's on Instagram. Instagram showed me a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: real that said, I bet you're gonna be interested in this.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: It was an in and out full of Gen Alpha
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: kids waiting for that special order to be announced, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: when demand in the little paper had it in and
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: out says order sixty seven. The whole crowd in the
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: restaurant just goes ballistic and they love it. And at
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: first I was pretty, you know, cantankerous about it, being
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: old crotchy, the old man, old gen X guy, like
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: this is just stupid. And I was like, you know what,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: We're in a really rough time or rough period in
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: our country. If this is something so stupid and it
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: brings them joy, who am I to judge, especially when
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that's the basis of our show here. So I applaud it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: And then I also recognized that while this video had
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: a bunch of kids going crazy and happy just because
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the in and out order said sixty seven, we also
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: had the DVD video hitting the corner boxes on the screens,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: so I can't really fault them too much.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the DVD thing is.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Seriously, yeah, okay, I feel so lost here. So you
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: don't remember the DVD video icon when it would go
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: to like a screen saver and it would just float
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: around the screen kind of like Pong would do. Okay,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I am so, did you guys ever watch The Office?
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Not?
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: No?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, well if you did, you probably I've never felt
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: so alone on this show. I can't believe you guys
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: don't aren't aware of that.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: You you would just you would just follow the icon
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: for the DVD. Yeah, and watch it and see if
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: it hit all the corners.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Did you point your big pencil at it and and
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: like follow it around?
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, you can't. You can't look at
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: it too closely because then it knows you're watching it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: You have to let it happen as organically as possible.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: So you would just watch it and then wait to
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: see if the icon perfectly in the corner. If it does,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a special special day.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Was this? Was this right before night meds? Is this
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: right before they gave you the good stuff to go
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: to sleep?
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: And I guarantee you you two guys are in the
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: minority on this. You might you might be in the
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: majority inside the treehouse right now, but I guarantee you
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: more people know what I'm talking about outside of this
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: recording session than you you.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: So, it had a screensaver that had the logo and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it bounced around. You watched it to see if it
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: hit the corner perfectly.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was before social media. Man. You know, little
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: things you find different ways to kill time.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Did you end up actually watching the DVD that was
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: in the DVD player or were we just no?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: There was too much excitement. After it hit the corner,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: you had to go party. You're like, whoa you hit?
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: You guys just don't know joy.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: No, I'm pretty sure I do.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: If you've never seen if you've never watched the DVD
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: video icon bounce around the screen and hit the corner,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: then then you haven't experienced something that is just pure.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Joy, like maybe watching the DVD itself and hopefully it
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: was a good movie.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Huh, That's what I would go with. But you you
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: were so fascinated by the loads screen.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: You can do both and I did.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: God, the fish must have absolutely made me mogasmic.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can have the aquarium. How about how
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: about the fake fire? Do you do you lose your
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: ship on that? Oh? It looks like a fire, but
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: it's not one.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I love the Roku screen Saver, The Little City, the
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: whole the Roku City. Absolutely. I watched that for an hour.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: It's my favorite show. It's interactive though, because you get
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: to try to guess, Okay, what are all the movies
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and things that are embedded on the Roku screen saver,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: obviously just operating at a different level than you do.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think the third grade or a
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: fourth grade, but you're reading it at six.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Now, now we know what Tara does when she has
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: to run errands.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: She plops me in front of the rope's screensaber and
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: You're threehouse on air dot.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Com eight three three cook d f W. That's one
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: of my favorite phone numbers. That's the one I called
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: to pester Daniel and Carrie Cook whenever I feel like it,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. They absolutely love it,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: especially if you didn't get the last If you didn't
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: get last night's lotto numbers, they'll tell you that too.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Eight three three cook DFW. They prefer to come out
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: and check your roof, check your property to see if
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: there's anything in need, and they'll be honest with you
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: about it. Eight three three cook d f W. Daniel,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: do you play the lottery?
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Honestly?
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: Not really, No, very rarely buy a ticket here and
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: there when they get really big pots, but no, we're
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: not a very big gambling family in general at all.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: You just love climbing on roofs and helping people.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: I mean, and you wake up every morning you go
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: where can I go climb today?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: For free?
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: I wonder how good of a rock climber I would be.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: I've never done that.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: You go find out and make sure Carrie's recording it.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Perhaps live streaming it would even be better in case
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: you fall. And I would start with one of those
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I think they call it bouldering. It's where instead of
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: starting with a mountain, you just start with a really
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: big rock and see if you can climb that. If
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: you can climb that, then you can graduate to bigger
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: and bigger rocks.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: I'm pretty confident in that though. I think that would
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: be kind of fun. At first, before going outside, I
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: was thinking about finding those rock walls or those wall
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: climbing things.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's a great idea. I bet you're
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: part monkey. Well, now we got confirmation. Get this man
• 15:05

• 15:49
  Speaker 2: going to try to move on mentally and emotionally from
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: the fact that you guys say you do not know
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: and have never heard of or experienced the DVD icon
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: floating around the screen landing in the corners on to
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: some other thing. What is it?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Tre We know what it is, we just didn't ever
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: waste any time watching it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: You never you know what this is. Maybe this is
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: an age gap issue because I think maybe you guys
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: had graduated high school before you ever watched any movies
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: or anything on DVD. I think I had it like
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: junior senior year of high school. They wheel in the
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: TV and someone finally had a DVD player in the grand.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: This is like ninety seven, So yeah, DVDs were a
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: thing then, just not that common. So that rolled in
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: and then it would go to a screen saver while
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: it was loading or waiting in the corner for the
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: teacher to use it, and the class would be watching it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: So as the teachers doing a lecture, we're watching this
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: TV screen in the corner, and it's the DVD video
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: logo bouncing around the corners and it would hit the corners.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Be like, yess and what do you people doing?
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: What else did you do in the special class?
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Yes? And by lecture do you mean like tracing letters
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: and shouting out colors?
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: All right? First of all, you both hard sideways. That
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: was an AP class.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm sure they told you.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: It was advanced placement.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Anyways, I can't make you guys understand this. So again,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: maybe you guys had already left before the DVD video
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: thing would happen in school, so you never had a
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: chance to see it. That's where I first experienced it.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: So then later on anyway, I.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Had a DVD player in my house. I mean, I
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: know what I know. The thing is, I just never
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: actually paid that much attention to where I was. I
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: found joy and excitement in the icon hitting the corners.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Usually if if the DVD icon was up, like I
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: had hit pause and then yeah, so when I came back,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you hit play and you're because you watch something, not
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: just the screensaver.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: And you're sure was the EP class? Like what do
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: you mean like academic probation? Is that what you were on?
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: No?
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, well, my memory is not the best.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: In my mind, it was advanced blazement. I'm pretty sure
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: that's what it said on the report cards and things,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: although that for in that time period, I did have
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: a tendency to change some of those report cards.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Anyways, Uh, let's talk about Trey and his girlfriend. Yeah, Actually,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: what I mean to say is, let's check in on
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Trey's fast. Oh, yes, Trey, did you get the cookies?
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, But.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: It's funny you brought up the girlfriend and then so
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: because I did not start the fast, Uh, I was
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: asked to wait because she was like, you know what,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I'm leaving town next weekend. Why don't you do it?
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Then?
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, she's smart. I like her.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: So and I really didn't have much of a you know,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: because she put it nicely. She didn't say I don't
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: want to dee to grumpy ass. She just said, you
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: know that way, you know, we can still have dinner
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and stuff because she goes, I won't eat if you're
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: not going to eat, which.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Oh that is very nice. I like how she's she's
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: wanting to respect your journey and she wants it to
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: be your journey.

  Speaker 4: So I will be starting at the end of this week.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Okay.

  Speaker 3: I still love the idea of that, just just the
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: white dude fasting.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: To be healthy.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: People in India are like, so you're not eating on purpose, okay,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: but you have food, Like there's things in your refrigerator
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: and there's you have bread, but you're not eating it.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So what day are you going to
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: start the fast? So so Raj and I's bet can
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: take place.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Mhmm, Thursday or Friday. Okay, I'll let you know.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let us know. So that way, Raj and I
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: can carry on our bet on whether or not we
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: think you can hold on to your fast. Raj doesn't
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: think you can. I know you've got it in you.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: So you're going you won't have any food.

  Speaker 3: But there's candy.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I I actually uh, I mean I we have candy
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: at work and everything else. I just I can't eat candy.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: If you're one an example of my addictive behavior, it
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: is chocolate candy sweets. If I have one, I will
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: have all of them. So I just simply do not partake.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: That's the same reason why I don't keep cereal in
• 21:36

• 21:42
  Speaker 3: This is so fascinating you guys, did you Are you

• 29:06
  Speaker 2: wise ass guy, and he's the one that says like
• 29:09

• 30:05
  Speaker 8: Like?
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: What do you don't like pizza?
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I still like the one that the guy at the
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: bar that would pop his glass eye out. Mm hmmm
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: that you told me about my buddy Dave's uncle. Remind
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: us what he did.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know what he I know he lost it
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: in a bar fight. He took a pool queue to
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: the face, and that that's when the glasses were made
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: with actual glass, like and he took a pool cute
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: and it shattered the glass and then that glass one
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: in his eye and yep, so he would just take
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: his eye out.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: And leave it on the bar, but didn't. Didn't he
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: also use it as a pick up prop.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: M he did. I don't remember the exact line. It's
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: been years. I remember the exact line. But he would
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: That's what he would test to see how cool the
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: chick was.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: He was trady, do you feel like a dental assistant
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: to my dentist trying to pull this out of r
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: because somehow I managed to remember this story better than
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: he does. Take his glass eye out and then he
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: would tell put it on the bar and tell tell
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: a chick, I've got my eye on you.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, under I thought we understood that one. But no,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I thought you were asking how he lost his eye.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: No, no, although now I'm going to be blinking furiously
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the day. Back to talk, back.
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: When you were a kid and you were riding a bike,
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: I had the.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: Option of ever riding learning to ride the bike.
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: Even in a gravel driveway.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: M yes, and that's it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: I think you're asleep right about there.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: No. Oh, I think if you listen here, if you listen,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: you can hear him kind of grown after he after
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: he trails off.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Right there.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I think what happened was him learning to ride a
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: bike on that gravel driveway was so traumatic he went
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: back to it mentally and then he couldn't recover it
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: and he just just bottomed out right there during the message.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's uh. That seems like there was a lot
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: of drinking happening prior to that message.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I feel like he wakes up, you know, two hours
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: from now, and finishes the story.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: But thinks it's right in the middle of it and
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: we're not judging. We've all done it. Yeah, there's a
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: reason why Trey is nine years sober. You don't. You
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: don't get nine years of chips in sobriety without having
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: left at least one or two messages hours long that
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: you woke up in the middle of thinking it had
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: only been a second or two.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he probably just thinks we're assholes that we edit
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: out the rest of his message.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I listened to the end. It went all the way
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: to the two minute match. There was nothing else there,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: so I'm not sure what happened on his end. That's
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: why I said, maybe there was just so much pain
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: there from him learning to ride a bicycle, so much trauma,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: that it just he just couldn't quite finish the story.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: And I get it.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I mean when I learned. I've told you guys this
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: one because we grew up. I grew up until the
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: age of nine living in the country, and we had
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: a paved driveway that was only like twenty feet, like
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: twenty by twenty right outside the garage. The rest of
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: the road was hard limestone gravel, and that was what
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I learned to ride a bike on. Because you can't
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: get up, you can't really ride learn to ride a
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: bike on a twenty foot slab, You need a little
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: more runway. So I get it. It's not easy. It
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: does give you good incentive to not fall down.
• 34:03
