0:50
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I've been saying that the last few episodes, but I literally just realized that those aren't released yet.
0:56
SPEAKER_01: So I'm just repeating myself to people who haven't heard the original message.
1:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're we're really far ahead in this.
1:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so um, but yeah.
1:06
SPEAKER_01: Uh vacationers, huh?
1:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's a foreshadowing event.
1:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
1:13
SPEAKER_01: Um we figured, you know, yesterday was the fourth.
1:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:19
SPEAKER_01: Um, this is vacation season.
1:21
SPEAKER_01: It is.
1:22
SPEAKER_01: We figured it'd be a fun topic, just something that we can talk about our experiences with vacations and getting the fuck away from the real world for a while.
1:31
SPEAKER_01: Which is ultimately, I think, what what what you know that's what most of us do it for.
1:37
SPEAKER_00: I yeah.
1:38
SPEAKER_00: I haven't had a vacation in four years.
1:41
SPEAKER_00: Uh we went 2021.
1:46
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:49
SPEAKER_01: I mean, unless you count like taking Ty out for his birthday, but that's not really like that's not really a vacation.
1:54
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, it's been a while for us too.
1:56
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if I look at vacation as going out of state for maybe a day or two or uh I mean I guess if we do that, then I you know, we go to West Virginia a couple times, so I guess you could kind of count that, but I guess that is a vacation.
2:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:08
SPEAKER_01: I didn't think about that.
2:09
SPEAKER_01: I can talk about that a little if we have time for that.
2:12
SPEAKER_01: I mean, there's not really much to talk about.
2:15
SPEAKER_01: It's literally a vacation where we just go and like reset and reboot.
2:22
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:22
SPEAKER_00: Which can lead me into my opening question.
2:28
SPEAKER_00: And here is your opening question.
2:31
SPEAKER_00: Eric, what do you love most about vacation?
2:36
SPEAKER_01: Oh, that is not the question I thought you I mean, I didn't know what you were gonna ask, but that's uh um for me and and we've talked about this because you you were kind of skeptic about doing this because I don't have a lot to add to this, um, which I didn't care, but you also brought up a good point.
2:55
SPEAKER_01: It was kind of the same with the collectibles.
2:56
SPEAKER_01: But for me, I think because like I literally didn't leave Akron until I was a teenager.
3:09
SPEAKER_01: Um for me, it's seeing new places.
3:13
SPEAKER_01: Um I I I enjoy that.
3:15
SPEAKER_01: Even you know, like when we go somewhere, like I I was gonna mention this, but I'll mention it in the opening question because it's perfect.
3:21
SPEAKER_01: In O3, it was not a vacation, and I'll explain why.
3:25
SPEAKER_01: Okay, but I went to South Dakota and I saw like legit like Native American, like teepee.
3:33
SPEAKER_01: Ooh, nice like smoke coming out of them.
3:37
SPEAKER_01: But we seen Mount Rushmore.
3:39
SPEAKER_01: Oh, nice.
3:40
SPEAKER_01: The problem was we were out there because my grandmother had passed, we were helping my aunts.
3:44
SPEAKER_01: That's my uncles like clean out her house and stuff like that.
3:46
SPEAKER_01: Me and my mom flew out, but that was cool to see despite the reason why we were out there.
3:53
SPEAKER_01: So even though it wasn't really a vacation, I did see vacation things, so I still tend to tell people I've seen it if we're talking about vacation.
4:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're not here, so and and I have to say, you know, I our history is whitewashed, and there's you know, plus only the winners write history, right?
4:10
SPEAKER_01: So I take anything that we've learned in school, history-wise, with a grain of salt, but it is something to see.
4:16
SPEAKER_01: It's my you know, it's it's it's actually like insane to see it.
4:20
SPEAKER_01: I can't believe I've never seen it.
4:22
SPEAKER_01: Well, and and real quick before we let you answer the question, it's really neat because where my aunt lived, because she was living out there because she was taking care of my uh my grandma, she actually lived in a double-wide trailer.
4:35
SPEAKER_01: Now, at this time, this was 2003.
4:37
SPEAKER_01: I thought a trailer was some fucking trailer park bullshit.
4:40
SPEAKER_01: I didn't know there were nice trailers.
4:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, nice trailer.
4:42
SPEAKER_01: This was like a house.
4:43
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
4:44
SPEAKER_01: And uh, but where she lived was centered in the Custer's last stand.
4:48
SPEAKER_01: No shit.
4:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like there's this big at the top, it's like a little, it's like a it's like a like goes like this, and there's house, and then at the top, there's this little like sign and shit, and it explains all yeah, it's really neat.
5:00
SPEAKER_01: But what I was getting at is where she lived, there's these mountains that you can drive through.
5:05
SPEAKER_01: And when you go around them, you actually go in like they've carved out the mountain.
5:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but it's neat because as you go up, as you drive around, when you go through the little tunnel, it immediately shows you Mount Rushmore.
5:16
SPEAKER_01: So every time you go around it, you can see it off in the distance.
5:20
SPEAKER_01: One of the coolest things I that's awesome, yeah.
5:22
SPEAKER_01: It was really cool.
5:23
SPEAKER_00: I've never I've I've never been further west than Texas.
5:26
SPEAKER_01: Well, the South Dakota is the farthest I went.
5:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so I mean, and then and if you really think about it, it's not much farther west where I was than any part of Texas.
5:35
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, yeah.
5:36
SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah, I have an uncle that lives outside of outside of Houston.
5:39
SPEAKER_00: That's and we all know that's where Jermaine also lives.
5:42
SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
5:42
SPEAKER_00: So I've been I've been to Houston.
5:44
SPEAKER_01: Man, what a busy city that is, though.
5:46
SPEAKER_01: It is, I you know, and I've said this before, I probably say this because that's where my best friend lives.
5:53
SPEAKER_01: But when I went to see him in in 2021, um I I don't know what it was, but I loved it there.
6:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's nice to have it.
6:04
SPEAKER_01: And maybe it was because I hadn't seen him in a while.
6:06
SPEAKER_01: I don't know, but like uh it just everything about it, it w it's not a fast city, it's a slow city, like busy cycle it it's busy, but it's it's it's at a uh a moderate pace.
6:20
SPEAKER_01: Like, and and and I think that's what I enjoyed most about it.
6:23
SPEAKER_01: So but what's your favorite uh part of vacation?
6:28
SPEAKER_00: My favorite part of vacation is just getting to leave my house and not be here.
6:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I love to travel, that's why I like to drive for a living.
6:36
SPEAKER_00: My dad drove a truck for a living for you know 25 years.
6:41
SPEAKER_00: I just I love to be out on the road, I love to take road trips, I love not sleeping at home sometimes, although my bed is very comfortable.
6:50
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, just to be able to get out and get away from here, yeah, you know, it that that's my favorite part.
6:55
SPEAKER_00: I don't even care where I go.
6:56
SPEAKER_01: Well, and and I think that would be we we've said this before, that's my one B.
7:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
7:00
SPEAKER_01: You know, it's it's let's get away from the normalcy, let's let's break up the monotony, right?
7:05
SPEAKER_01: And and kind of get away from it.
7:06
SPEAKER_01: And reset.
7:07
SPEAKER_01: That's that's the biggest part for me.
7:09
SPEAKER_00: I I I love a good vacation reset.
7:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
7:13
SPEAKER_01: Even if it's for a weekend, yeah, you know, like you said, uh, excuse me, going to West Virginia and stuff like that, just uh wipe the site clean.
7:23
SPEAKER_00: I got my reset a couple weeks ago when we went down to Nashville.
7:26
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and it was just me and the wife and and then what was it the following week or the or no the week after that?
7:33
SPEAKER_01: You guys went to West Virginia?
7:34
SPEAKER_01: West Virginia, so it's a nice reset, man.
7:38
SPEAKER_00: It really is.
7:39
SPEAKER_01: And and that's why, you know, I I I agree with staycations, but I do think even if for whatever reason, just travel to a neighboring city for a day or something, just kind of new scenery.
7:53
SPEAKER_01: It just it it it you know, like you said, it just resets you.
7:56
SPEAKER_01: And you know, I I I I and I get it, especially nowadays, like I mean, even going back to the mid-2010s, um, it's so much more expensive now.
8:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
8:07
SPEAKER_01: Um gas right now is well gas, I mean flights, and and not only that, like the flights are getting more expensive and they're taking more shit away.
8:16
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, it I I get that.
8:19
SPEAKER_01: You know, it it it's a big decision, it's expensive, but yeah, I I can tell you this.
8:26
SPEAKER_01: My kids, you know, they they didn't want for nothing, but I can tell you this, they'll tell you that they would have much rather us go on vacation than buy them a ton of shit.
8:36
SPEAKER_01: Right, you know, which was we'll get to it, but which is was my gripe about my childhood.
8:41
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, my my parents tried to do something every summer with like uh income tax return.
8:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like we would they would always plan something out.
8:50
SPEAKER_00: We would go, you know, to Florida and stuff like that.
8:54
SPEAKER_00: I've been to to Boston and '99, we went to Texas to visit my uncle.
9:01
SPEAKER_00: And you know, we me and my wife have tried to do that.
9:04
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it doesn't always work out that way.
9:06
SPEAKER_00: Right.
9:07
SPEAKER_00: Like we wanted to go on vacation this year.
9:09
SPEAKER_00: We were talking about going down to Florida and going to the golf, because my wife's never been to the golf.
9:14
SPEAKER_00: In fact, the only time she's ever seen the ocean is when I've taken her.
9:17
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
9:18
SPEAKER_00: Which is funny because she grew up the majority of her childhood in Fort Hood, Texas.
9:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
9:23
SPEAKER_00: Which isn't that far from the ocean or the golf.
9:26
SPEAKER_00: They never went.
9:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
9:28
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, that's I mean, I've I've been there.
9:32
SPEAKER_01: I I I've told you back in 0 uh 5 or 06, uh, I had moved to Florida.
9:42
SPEAKER_01: I was gonna move with my sister and start over and all that.
9:44
SPEAKER_01: She lived in Venice, okay, which is just south of Sarasota, which is real close to the west coast of Florida.
9:52
SPEAKER_01: And yeah, I'm you know that that would have that was the first time I'd you know seen the ocean.
9:58
SPEAKER_01: I actually never went to the beach, but I drove past it where I could see it.
10:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I was I I when I that's another story about my whole trip down there.
10:07
SPEAKER_01: We could have a whole sec session on that.
10:11
SPEAKER_01: Um but yeah, so you know, vacations are truly like I said, they're expensive, but it's funny because looking back, like I regardless of what we spent, because I mean we did the same thing with our um first uh three vacations, we just we saved income taxes and and you know used it for that.
10:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and you know, it paid off dearly.
10:38
SPEAKER_01: So, Bob, um this is gonna be a better question for you to start, but um what was your very first vacation that you can remember?
10:48
SPEAKER_01: Um I'm um there may have been times your parents might have took you when you were little, little maybe, but yeah, if you don't remember it, I would say there's one from oh god, I was probably four or five years old.
11:01
SPEAKER_00: I don't remember it.
11:02
SPEAKER_00: There's pictures we we went down to actually Mammoth Cave down in Kentucky.
11:07
SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
11:08
SPEAKER_00: And then from there we went to Graceland because you know, my mom and grandma and grandpa, they were all big Elvis fans.
11:14
SPEAKER_00: I don't remember that one.
11:16
SPEAKER_00: Uh what I do remember is in 1990, uh the whole family went down to Busch Gardens in Virginia, and I remember that specifically because me and my dad rode roller coasters.
11:29
SPEAKER_00: You know, I was not very old, what seven?
11:33
SPEAKER_00: Seven years old, eight years old, somewhere in there.
11:35
SPEAKER_00: And that scared the shit out of me because they were like big boy coasters, not like jogging lake coasters at the time.
11:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
11:42
SPEAKER_01: I mean, these were Cedar Point type.
11:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
11:46
SPEAKER_00: And one of them's not there anymore.
11:48
SPEAKER_00: They tore it down and put it put another coaster in the same spot.
11:52
SPEAKER_00: But one of them is, and it was called the Loch Nest Monster, and that was it was like the double loop.
11:57
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
11:57
SPEAKER_00: But what was cool about it is it went down into like this river gorge thing, and the loops interlocked, so they would run two trains once in a while, and you'd have a chance of going into the loops at the same time.
12:09
SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's crazy.
12:10
SPEAKER_00: But it it was yeah, but it was fun.
12:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
12:14
SPEAKER_00: And I remember it just being hot as hell because it's summer in Virginia.
12:17
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
12:18
SPEAKER_00: And my uncle was a bit of an alcoholic, and we had to go to uh like the Budweiser factory or the Bush factory or whatever the hell it is, yeah.
12:30
SPEAKER_00: And they had to do a beer tasting, and I'm like seven years old, I'm like, I don't care about this, but I remember it smelled really good.
12:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
12:40
SPEAKER_01: Um for me, um I'll just kind of I I thought of one last night.
12:48
SPEAKER_01: It wasn't really a vacation, but I did leave to go see somebody and spend a weekend.
12:53
SPEAKER_01: So I counted as my first one.
12:56
SPEAKER_01: Um but in 03 when I was living with Vonnie and uh his brother, uh me and Jermaine had gone with a couple other of our friends to this like house party that this girl was having that she she like she had her own house, whatever.
13:15
SPEAKER_01: She had a she had a very young daughter.
13:18
SPEAKER_01: And we went to hang out.
13:20
SPEAKER_01: By the end of the night, she had taken a like to me, I'd taken a like to her.
13:24
SPEAKER_01: We started talking.
13:25
SPEAKER_01: Well, when we were over there, she she was engaged, but she was separated, and it ended up blowing up like a few months after that.
13:33
SPEAKER_01: So she took her daughter and all her things and moved to North Carolina to stay with her sister.
13:39
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
13:40
SPEAKER_01: And you know, me being 22 years old, yeah.
13:44
SPEAKER_01: She was like, at some point you should come see me.
13:47
SPEAKER_01: I was working at Steer and it was 12-hour shifts, four on, three off, three on, four off.
13:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
13:56
SPEAKER_01: So it was a Tuesday night, and or it was uh Tuesday afternoon, and I was going into my last shift.
14:05
SPEAKER_01: I had a four-day weekend that weekend.
14:06
SPEAKER_01: It was my Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday off.
14:11
SPEAKER_01: And uh I said, well, why don't I come down this weekend?
14:17
SPEAKER_01: And she was like, do it.
14:19
SPEAKER_01: Okay, and the next night, uh I got off that Wednesday, I got off at 6 a.m.
14:29
SPEAKER_01: in the morning.
14:30
SPEAKER_01: I went home.
14:31
SPEAKER_01: I I actually didn't or no, yeah.
14:34
SPEAKER_01: So I slept as much as I could that day, but the excitement I didn't sleep much.
14:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, naturally.
14:39
SPEAKER_01: And I didn't really tell anybody.
14:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
14:41
SPEAKER_01: Like I didn't tell my parents, I didn't really tell Vonnie.
14:44
SPEAKER_01: I waited until I was on the road and kind of told them.
14:48
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
14:48
SPEAKER_01: So that night, uh, it was about six o'clock at night.
14:53
SPEAKER_01: Well, no.
14:58
SPEAKER_01: No, that's right.
14:59
SPEAKER_01: I ended up leaving that night.
15:01
SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
15:01
SPEAKER_01: I was gonna leave then, but a friend of ours needed help with something.
15:05
SPEAKER_01: So later that night it was about I finally decided to leave at like 11 at night.
15:09
SPEAKER_01: I was like, it's probably better to travel at night, whatever.
15:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and this was like before GPS.
15:13
SPEAKER_01: Like I got the map quest.
15:14
SPEAKER_01: Oh, you had to map quest that shit.
15:16
SPEAKER_01: And nice.
15:17
SPEAKER_01: I'm driving all the way to my first time ever driving out of state, anything, and I'm going 450 miles.
15:25
SPEAKER_01: Wow.
15:26
SPEAKER_01: Or whatever it was.
15:27
SPEAKER_01: Or no, 800 miles.
15:29
SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, I'm tripping.
15:30
SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, I'm going damn near 800 miles.
15:33
SPEAKER_01: And uh yeah, I I I I drove down there on a whim.
15:38
SPEAKER_01: Nice.
15:38
SPEAKER_01: I'm halfway down there, and I I call everybody and like, hey, just you know, and strangely enough, like, I mean, people were obviously like, what the hell are you doing?
15:48
SPEAKER_01: But all right, maybe do you, you know.
15:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so I went down there and spent three days, and and that was fun.
15:54
SPEAKER_01: Um didn't get much sleep, but I could imagine.
16:00
SPEAKER_01: Um, but uh yeah, we um it was fun.
16:04
SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, on the drive back, I totaled my car.
16:07
SPEAKER_01: Oh no, I don't think I've ever told you this story.
16:09
SPEAKER_01: No, so I drove this.
16:11
SPEAKER_01: Obviously, the lack of sleep, uh, I was really tired.
16:16
SPEAKER_01: Um, and at one point I pulled over for about an hour and I took a power nap.
16:20
SPEAKER_01: I was smart, and I'm driving and I'm I'm in West Virginia, and I'm about a half hour from the border of Ohio.
16:27
SPEAKER_01: Oh no.
16:28
SPEAKER_01: And this truck, and and you've drove through 77 in West Virginia.
16:33
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
16:34
SPEAKER_01: There's sections where it's median and mountain wall, and that's all you got.
16:37
SPEAKER_01: And this guy was here, and I was here next to the mountain, and he was going to get into my lane, and I'm slamming on he's not.
16:50
SPEAKER_01: So it's either let him hit me or swerve and hit the mountain.
16:54
SPEAKER_01: I swerve, and I was like Morris Code off the side of this fucking mountain while going 85 miles an hour.
17:00
SPEAKER_01: Um, where do you hear this story?
17:03
SPEAKER_01: Um, I hit my head, it knocked my glasses off, and my cell phone at the time fell.
17:07
SPEAKER_01: And this was primitive cell phone.
17:09
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, yeah.
17:10
SPEAKER_01: It fell, and when I get up, I open my door, and there's probably about this much space never side, and then it locks and never closes or opens.
17:19
SPEAKER_01: It just stays there.
17:21
SPEAKER_01: Huh.
17:22
SPEAKER_01: I get out and a guy comes up to me, and this will tell you this he comes up to me, he goes, Are you okay?
17:30
SPEAKER_01: I go, Yeah, I think so.
17:31
SPEAKER_01: He goes, I saw that that guy cut you off.
17:34
SPEAKER_01: He said, I didn't get his license plate.
17:36
SPEAKER_01: I said, but I got the make of the car.
17:38
SPEAKER_01: He goes, Are you hurt anywhere?
17:41
SPEAKER_01: I'm a nurse.
17:42
SPEAKER_01: Oh.
17:43
SPEAKER_01: What are the chances?
17:44
SPEAKER_01: Right.
17:44
SPEAKER_01: It gets even deeper.
17:46
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
17:46
SPEAKER_01: So we're sitting there, and he says, Okay, you seem to be okay or whatnot.
17:52
SPEAKER_01: We're waiting for the cops to come through.
17:54
SPEAKER_01: My car is total.
17:55
SPEAKER_01: Right.
17:55
SPEAKER_01: Like I can't drive it.
17:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
17:57
SPEAKER_01: I'm in West Virginia.
17:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're four hours away.
18:00
SPEAKER_01: A taxi would no taxi would do it.
18:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, nothing.

SPEAKER_01: That was really cool.
21:55
SPEAKER_01: Which I I read something crazy about that.
21:57
SPEAKER_01: You know, they only ended up killing like thirty, thirty.
22:00
SPEAKER_01: It wasn't old.
22:01
SPEAKER_01: They said it was like 10,000 of the books and shit they only.
22:03
SPEAKER_01: I mean, it was still fucked up for what it wasn't as big as a travesty is.
22:09
SPEAKER_01: Right.
22:09
SPEAKER_01: Or at least I won't say big as a travesty.
22:11
SPEAKER_01: The death count wasn't as high as they they they originally.
22:14
SPEAKER_00: Well, that just goes to show you about religious fanatics.
22:17
SPEAKER_01: Well, and history.
22:18
SPEAKER_01: Like only the winners write history.
22:20
SPEAKER_01: So it, you know.
22:21
SPEAKER_00: But the funnest part of that vacation was my dad is a massive, massive, massive Boston Red Sox fan.
22:28
SPEAKER_00: That's right.
22:29
SPEAKER_00: So we actually went to Fenway.
22:31
SPEAKER_00: Fenway.
22:32
SPEAKER_01: That's what I was gonna.
22:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Fenway.
22:34
SPEAKER_00: And that was during the the early 90s when the Red Sox were kind of trash.
22:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
22:39
SPEAKER_00: I think their best player at the time was maybe Mo Vaughn.
22:42
SPEAKER_00: Maybe.
22:43
SPEAKER_00: That's a pretty good one.
22:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
22:44
SPEAKER_01: But you ain't gonna win uh a season with just him.
22:48
SPEAKER_00: What was actually cool about it was it was a it was like a rain check doubleheader against the Blue Jays.
22:53
SPEAKER_00: I still have my ticket stub, so when you go to edit the video, I'll send you a picture of the ticket stub.
22:58
SPEAKER_00: I can't believe I still have that ticket stub.
23:00
SPEAKER_00: It's like 32 years old.
23:01
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
23:03
SPEAKER_00: But it was cool because my dad went out and uh he touched the green monster.
23:08
SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's awesome.
23:09
SPEAKER_00: You know, one of his things.
23:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
23:11
SPEAKER_00: And I remember walking around the stadium, and it's one of those old timey, like if you ever went to Tiger Stadium.
23:18
SPEAKER_01: Uh I never got to see it.
23:19
SPEAKER_01: When when I went to the concert we talked about in the previous one, it was America Park.
23:23
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
23:23
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, it was a lot like, you know, Tiger Stadium, that old school like ramps up to, you know, uh upper deck bleachers.
23:30
SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
23:32
SPEAKER_00: But it was basically uh we got standing room only tickets for a doubleheader, one ticket, two games.
23:38
SPEAKER_00: They were bad, we sat wherever.
23:41
SPEAKER_00: You couldn't do that now at Fenway because it's always packed, even if they're bad or not, it doesn't matter.
23:45
SPEAKER_00: But I really like going to a Yankees game.
23:49
SPEAKER_00: Right.
23:50
SPEAKER_00: But no, it was cool, man.
23:51
SPEAKER_01: That's all it was neat.
23:52
SPEAKER_01: I've always I've always wanted to go um to like Boston, DC.
23:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
23:58
SPEAKER_01: That whole um as much as I said I'm not a fan of history, uh I I I do like those kinds of things, though.
24:07
SPEAKER_01: You know, I would love to see you know the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln Memorial, Washington, like that stuff is still cool to me.
24:14
SPEAKER_01: Um, it's it's reg regardless of of you know where you stand, it's historical.
24:21
SPEAKER_01: And you know, I I again um seeing it in the physical is very interesting for me.
24:27
SPEAKER_01: So I've always wanted to do that.
24:28
SPEAKER_01: And I was jealous because you remember back in the day, middle schools even in they went to Boston or uh Boston or DC.
24:36
SPEAKER_01: Um even as broke as Akron was, they still had those trips.
24:40
SPEAKER_01: We could never afford it, so I was never able to go.
24:42
SPEAKER_01: But ties go on.
24:44
SPEAKER_01: But I do remember when we were young too, they used to ask for parent chaperones.
24:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they don't do that anymore.
24:50
SPEAKER_01: Like I was so excited.
24:51
SPEAKER_01: I was gonna take time off of work.
24:52
SPEAKER_01: I was like, I'm gonna fucking go.
24:54
SPEAKER_01: And they unfortunately they don't do that anymore.
24:56
SPEAKER_00: I've I've got to tie into DC.
24:59
SPEAKER_00: Uh I want to say it was about two years before my mom passed, they lived down there.
25:04
SPEAKER_00: They moved, he took a her fiance took a paralegal job down there, and they lived in Silver Spring, Maryland, which was just about 15 minutes outside of DC.
25:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I went down in like July the one year and stayed at their apartment.
25:20
SPEAKER_00: And it was cool because the one weekend we actually went into DC and did we started at Arlington, so I've seen like the the changing of the guard at Arlington Cemetery.
25:30
SPEAKER_00: Bro, it's that's cool.
25:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I could imagine.
25:34
SPEAKER_00: That's cool.
25:34
SPEAKER_00: But we did a a tram tour of DC where you could pay for your tram ticket and then you could go and get off the tram and go to all the hot spots.
25:43
SPEAKER_00: And get back on it.
25:44
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, that's pretty cool.
25:45
SPEAKER_00: We we walked by the Lincoln Memorial, but they were doing a bit of a renovation on the outside, and it was just packed.
25:51
SPEAKER_00: Well, I could imagine at any time.
25:53
SPEAKER_01: It's just fucking ridiculous.
25:55
SPEAKER_00: But it was it was cool because you know, we saw the reflecting pool, which you know what's going on in the news right now with the reflecting pool bullshit.
26:02
SPEAKER_00: But we walked up to the Washington Monument.
26:04
SPEAKER_00: I wasn't walking up, you know, however many hundreds of steps.
26:07
SPEAKER_00: That wasn't it.
26:08
SPEAKER_01: When I think of the reflecting pool, I always think of that scene in Forrest Gump.
26:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
26:11
SPEAKER_01: Jenny's running up to everybody's giving that speech.
26:14
SPEAKER_00: Like, that's what I always think about when I think of that.
26:16
SPEAKER_00: I wonder how much clearance they had to get to do that scene.
26:18
SPEAKER_00: Because I'm sure they filmed it there.
26:20
SPEAKER_00: Who knows?
26:22
SPEAKER_01: I mean, once they seen the film or knew about the film, I mean it wasn't doing many distasteful kind of well.
26:30
SPEAKER_00: I go ahead.
26:31
SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say, no, it was it was a cool trip because we we did the Vietnam uh the wall.
26:36
SPEAKER_00: The memorial.
26:36
SPEAKER_00: That was cool, man.
26:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then we did the World War II memorial, which was you know, we really treated those soldiers like shit after that war and knowing Vietnam, they were just doing what like the the hate should have been to our government being ignorant, not those guys, they were doing what they were told, but getting spit on the street.
26:51
SPEAKER_01: You live and learn, man.
26:52
SPEAKER_01: Um, if we're gonna go, I I I'm gonna go really this one's tough because we've been to Disney twice.
27:03
SPEAKER_01: I mean, obviously, you know that yeah, um, but I'm I'm gonna go with the first one.
27:08
SPEAKER_01: The the second one was a better vacation, but the first one was more memorable because it was all our first time there, and yes, so I'll go into a little detail about that.
27:18
SPEAKER_01: So we had decided we were gonna try to do this again.
27:22
SPEAKER_01: You know, I I was still working at DICOM.
27:24
SPEAKER_01: As a matter of fact, I had just started there.
27:26
SPEAKER_01: We had gone in 2016, I had started there in 2015.
27:30
SPEAKER_01: Wow.
27:30
SPEAKER_01: So uh we had talked about it, and I had come across a Disney vacation planner.
27:40
SPEAKER_01: Okay, you know, because I mean we didn't know what to expect.
27:42
SPEAKER_01: Right.
27:43
SPEAKER_01: And she helped us out, she got us a hell of a deal.
27:46
SPEAKER_01: I think our entire package that's with flight, a meal plan, uh the um what's it called?
27:54
SPEAKER_01: Memory maker package, I'll get into that.
27:57
SPEAKER_01: Um, all of that stuff.

SPEAKER_01: Um it was only like$3,500.
28:06
SPEAKER_01: That's actually not bad.
28:07
SPEAKER_01: It's not bad at all.
28:08
SPEAKER_01: Um so if you guys don't know, so I suggest driving to Disney.
28:16
SPEAKER_01: But if that's what we did, if you want an all exclusive, then you can fly down there because there are um and and I'll put them up, they have their own bus line that goes from park to park to different things that runs every 15 to 20 minutes.
28:32
SPEAKER_01: So you don't have to drive or do anything down there.
28:34
SPEAKER_01: But so um we're Rihanna's working with her, they're they're getting this whole thing laid out.
28:42
SPEAKER_01: And uh yeah, so in the beginning of, I think it was it was no, it was the yeah, it was the beginning of June.
28:52
SPEAKER_01: Um we flew down and uh as soon as you get off they have like you don't even take a cab or nothing.
29:05
SPEAKER_01: They have their own Disney buses that kick you up at the airport.
29:07
SPEAKER_01: That's awesome.
29:08
SPEAKER_01: So we get on that and then they drop you off at whatever, like we were staying at Coronado Springs.
29:13
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
29:14
SPEAKER_00: So we got Hey, you could catch almost almost.
29:17
SPEAKER_01: Um, and then we uh we get to our room and uh we we didn't tell the kids this, but her mom paid for it's called A Kid's First Trip.
29:32

30:28
SPEAKER_01: Magic Kingdom is fucking humongous, and that's the park that has Cinderella's castle, right?
30:35
SPEAKER_01: Um so we go there and we look at and it blew my mind because you hear about it, but like not only do they have like because it's Orlando, middle of summer, yeah.
30:45

30:51
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, every shop's air conditioning, they don't show you away if you don't buy anything, guys.
30:55
SPEAKER_01: Then Disney really was super friendly, but what I wasn't prepared for was the smell of vision.
31:04
SPEAKER_01: So not bad.
31:06
SPEAKER_01: They have specific holes or or like things that that put smells into the park.
31:14
SPEAKER_00: Ooh, nice.
31:15
SPEAKER_01: So if you're near, it'll smell like sweets, or it might smell like bread, or like they do stuff like that to kind of entice you.
31:22
SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
31:23
SPEAKER_01: So we're, you know, we're we're we're taking all that in, and the memory maker package is amazing.
31:28

31:32
SPEAKER_01: Maybe I can pull it up in my wallet.
31:34
SPEAKER_01: But so what the memory maker is, is they have people that stand around with cameras that are that are employees, and they take your picture.
31:43
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
31:45
SPEAKER_01: But what you don't know is when they go to take your picture, they'll say things like, for instance, and I'll throw this picture up because it's one of my I have a picture of Ty on my shoulders.
31:53
SPEAKER_01: Because mind you, he's the first time we went to Disney, it was slightly before his third birthday.
31:59
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
32:00
SPEAKER_01: He's on my shoulders and she says, Tell him to put his hand up like this.
32:04
SPEAKER_01: So he puts his hand up.
32:06
SPEAKER_01: When they send you the picture, there's Mickey balloons in his hand.
32:09
SPEAKER_01: Oh, nice.

32:38
SPEAKER_01: Um, it it's actually well worth it.
32:41
SPEAKER_01: Um, we went uh but yeah, our our first vacation to Disney was the only problem was is they had just bought Star Wars.
32:50
SPEAKER_01: So they didn't have all the cool Star Wars Galaxy Edge.
32:53
SPEAKER_01: Even when we went two years later, Galaxy Edge was only about 70% finished.
32:57
SPEAKER_01: Right.
32:58
SPEAKER_01: So we didn't, I mean there they had Star Wars stuff because they had bought it, but it wasn't their main focus at the time.
33:04
SPEAKER_00: That's the only reason I would go back now because of the Star Wars stuff.
33:07
SPEAKER_01: I have to build my own droid and like my own lightsaber, I have to before I die.
33:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, my my wife would uh probably be upset that I would want to do that.

SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
33:22
SPEAKER_00: I I I I'm I want to do it.

33:36
SPEAKER_00: It it so on certain things.
33:39
SPEAKER_01: Well, back then though, too, it was more for littler kids.
33:45
SPEAKER_01: Now with them having shit like Marvel, right, ESPN.

41:07
SPEAKER_01: It's still cool when you haven't been for a while and then you go.
41:10
SPEAKER_01: It's weird to look at water and still keep seeing water.
41:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
41:16

41:41
SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's obvious obviously it's not, but yeah, because of the it's just like a yeah, it's just like a sea of black and you feel very isolated and very like you know it's a weird feeling.
41:56
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I could dude.
41:57
SPEAKER_01: I love the water and that shit would be freaky to me.
42:00
SPEAKER_00: But being on a big boat like that, you don't really you know, you don't feel it, but there's always something to do, so you just kind of and then you port, you know, you get to port wherever you're going, and then you're on land and you're doing your thing, and then you get back on the boat, and but no, it's it's everybody should go on a cruise at least once in their man, I see so many bad stories about them.
