• 0:31
  SPEAKER_02: Man.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_02: Sectioned off a segment and look.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, this one's a little different.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_02: We're just kind of yeah, it's just kind of a random set of topics just to kind of give us conversation and stuff like that.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_02: But eventually I was thinking about this the other day.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'm probably gonna have to drop constantly telling them what episode it is.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_02: Most people don't do that, but I don't know.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_02: It's just something that I can do and I just do it.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_02: So but I think it's cool.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_02: I don't yeah, I don't I don't mind saying it.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_02: I just figure I don't know.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe that's a good thing because then somebody could just randomly grab an episode and be like, oh shit, they got this many.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_02: Let me go.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_02: So who knows?
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_02: And it might stick in their head.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_02: They'll be like, Oh, I remember that.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_02: It was episode 17 because you said it in the beginning, you know.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_02: I I like it.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you should do it.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I can't I can I I'll keep doing it.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_02: I just you know, yeah, again, we keep telling everybody to to reach out with their comments and stuff, but I mean some of our family does, but they do it behind closed doors.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_02: But like, guys, again, for the thousandth time, please find us on our socials, follow us, um, write your uh you know, what you like about the pod, what you don't like, follow us.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_02: We're on right and and I'm gonna announce it here, guys.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_02: If you want another place, I've put all of our videos, and I haven't told you this, so you're gonna know.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_02: All of our current videos that are live everywhere else are now live on Patreon all the way up to episode 11.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_02: Spent a lot of time getting those uploaded.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um, the problem with Patreon is um you have to leave that window open or it slows down extremely.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_02: Like to the point where like if my screen goes into screensaver mode for a half hour, it may upload two to three percent.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: That's garbage.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_02: It only takes like 10 minutes if I leave it open and all that, so I can't really do much else while I'm doing it.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but yeah, so you kind of leave it there, make sure you touch the mouse and uh play on your phone pretty much, or watch something on my iPad.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but that stinks.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_02: So, um, this week I got a little heads up, but let's uh let let's we talk about this.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_02: This is my second favorite part of the episode.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the question.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_02: The weekly question.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_02: Which you're gonna add in there.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's alright.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_02: I love it.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: I love it when you do that because it gives me a challenge to try to match it.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_01: We like to laugh about it, yeah.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: Of course.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: And I literally came up with this last night because I texted you, I was like, shit, bro, I ain't done nothing for this episode all the time.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: Neither one of us have.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: We've been kind of we've been busy, busy, and then yeah, in our downtime, we've kind of took the time to we hit it hard for about a month, man.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it's been kind of nice to just kind of ease off the throttle a little bit.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: Because what you guys don't know is this won't come out until sometime in what August?
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_02: Um mid to late August.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and we're uh July 20th or no.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: July 19th.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: July 19th.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: So we're that far ahead, which kind of cool, but kind of can't talk.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: Like we can't get so much.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_01: That's why we do the bull sessions.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_01: Go listen to those, those are amazing.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, though that's when you really get the raw us.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_02: These again, we're not scripted, we're outlined.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_02: Um we we like when we do our main episodes, we just like to make sure we boom, hit, hit, hit, go, and then be done with it.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_02: But the bull sessions are just that.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's us bullshitting, like you said.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: So all right, Bob, give us that question.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_02: And because I'm an old man, I gotta bring my notebook closer to my face.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I gotta do this.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: You should see me trying to read instructions when I'm covering.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's horrible, right?
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_01: Time to break out the bifocals and shit.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: I have some.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: I still gotta look.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: These are uh the hidden ones.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, nice, very nice.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: All right, here's your question.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: What music from the 80s or 90s do you still come back to or what are some of your favorites?
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: And or.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_02: Um I mean, everybody's gonna go, well, I know what he's gonna say.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and I'm not.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_02: Um that's a good question.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_02: I think what I go back to more than anything if if we're, you know, outside of my main question, the main question.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_02: The 80s would probably be um I I I can give you a couple of songs more so than genres.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, To Be With You by Mr.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: Big.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.

  SPEAKER_02: Good song.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_02: Good song.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but I'm gonna guys clip this.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_02: Um, my mom was a tennis player when she was a kid, and I was gonna play tennis a little bit when I was younger, so I had an actual tennis racket.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_02: And I memorized that song, all of the ad libs that he did, and I would sit in my room and sing to that because my mom and dad bought me the cassette to nice and play the guitar on the tennis racket on the tennis racket.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's awesome to that song.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I'm gonna go there.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, for all you guys that don't like the LBGTQ, first of all, you can kiss a big fat ass.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I loved Culture Club.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_02: I don't care.

  SPEAKER_02: I like Boy George.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_02: Boy George, yeah.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_02: Um uh Connor Chameleon is I I don't care who you are, that's a catchy song.

  SPEAKER_02: I go back to that.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_02: Um a lot of uh Metallica gets a lot of play, a lot of 80s Metallica.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_02: There's a little 90s too.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but um that uh I go back to grunge a lot.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, so early 90s.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_02: Uh audio or um Soundgarten, uh Nirvana, uh Pearl Jam, uh Alice and Chains, even though they were slightly heavier, I would still consider it.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_02: But they were grunge, yeah.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_02: Um Stone Temple Pilots was one of my absolute favorites.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_02: I like Core, Plush, and uh what was the third one?
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_02: I think it had Interstate Love Vaseline.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Vaseline Interstate Love song on.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_02: I forget what that was called.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_02: But Core Plush and that one, those were albums I I I listened to.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's a shame you didn't.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_02: Temple of the Dog.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_02: Uh obviously, we talked about that the super group.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, I was a big fan.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_02: Even though they weren't really grunts, that was a more laid, they were more of like a soul asylum when they try to put big time.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_02: I bet you never thought you'd hear me name that band.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_02: Soul asylum?
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_02: I love Soul Asylum.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_02: Runaway Train is one of my favorite songs of all time.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_02: And if guys go listen to it, I'll put it up on the on the screen.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_02: But Runaway Train, it's it's about kids that like are abused and and and and tortured and stuff like that, and like they they just they want to run away.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's a sad song, but it's an amazing song.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_02: But what about you?
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: I'm a lot in the same vein in the 80s as you are.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: I I like stuff like Mr.

  SPEAKER_01: Big and I actually heard uh Sister Christian the other day.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_01: Oh I love that song.

• 7:19
  SPEAKER_02: I always forget to put prints, but yeah.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_02: And we both forgot I can't believe Michael Jackson.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, MJ.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_01: I like some MJ.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I haven't always been the biggest fan.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_01: I like it, don't get me wrong.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_01: Uh my dad hated it because he's an old school, you know, yeah.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: He is what he is, and it's fine, whatever.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: He grew up, not grew up, but he was in the time where it was Jackson 5.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it's a different era.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: A different era for Michael Jackson's.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: See, man, I celebrate his whole catalog.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, cuts and all.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: I love Michael.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um he yeah, but um, yeah, keep going.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_01: But sure, a lot of a lot of 80s Metallica, obviously, kill them all, ride the lightning, Master of Puppets, all the way into uh Injustice.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, which that's one of my favorite the black album, is that 90 or 90?
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_01: 91.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_01: That's I believe it's 91.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_02: No, I think you're right.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_02: I because I was always confused of which one it was.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_02: I knew it was one of those.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: It was one of those weird years, and when that dropped, there was like there's a meme about it with all the other great albums that came out that year, and how hard Metallica fucked everybody because of the black album.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_02: That was 96 for hip hop.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, um, we had the debut or uh 98 for hip-hop.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_02: We had the debut of DMX, we had the debut of The Locks, yeah.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: We I mean there were so many artists that had come out for the first time.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and there was a lot of albums that were released that are considered classics to that day that year.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, it's um that that's a good segue uh to our first um our first segment.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: So what is I mean this is just gonna be me and you basically probably saying the same answer.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, but for you guys, please again comment.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um, Jermaine, thank you.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_02: Uh you've been commenting and stuff, and and no, we appreciate that.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's great.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_02: Please keep doing it.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_02: It's awesome.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but um, sorry.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: Um but yeah, uh so I'll let you lead it off.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_02: Uh what's the best decade to be a kid and why?
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: And why?
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: Good caveat.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, I was born in 1983.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna say anytime after that, well, more like 88.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_01: 88 to probably 97-ish for me.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_01: Because I don't really remember, you know, stuff from before that.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: I started kindergarten in 1988.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: And so 80s and 90s for me, kind of born in the 80s, grew up in the 90s.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_01: It they they melt they melt together for us, and we're one of those generations, you know.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: I don't consider myself a millennial, I'm a xennial.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I am too.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_01: And because I remember what it was like in the before times in the long, long ago.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_01: You know, actually going outside and playing with our friends and drinking from the hose.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_01: And when summer vacation hit, it was like go outside, don't come back till the streetlight comes on.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_01: So those memes are all correct about you better get your ass in this house when the streetlight comes on, or I'm gonna kill you.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_02: And and like a lot of kids nowadays they have phones saying to know, but I had to check in if I was going far.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_02: So I either had to call or I had to come back home to make sure I was alive.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_02: But other than that, man, we were left to our own free will.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: We were, and that's what was awesome.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_01: We were like feral creatures, basically.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_02: That that adds up to mine because I'm about three years older than you, yeah.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so I went 86 to 96.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_02: Um, again, uh as far as um music, it would be a little different.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_02: We kind of talked about that a little bit before we came on, but and just as a kid in the overall experience, 86 to 96, we had the best toys, best movies, uh, best music had come out at that point.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I just and and I know every generation says that.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_02: The problem I have with that is though, is that they're all wrong.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_02: Um, we'll agree with you.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: Had the like I'm I don't care.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_02: There's nothing you can tell me uh that would tell me like I seen a podcast where these guys were like, Yeah, there's never or no, it was the uh Cobra Kai podcast that uh I was listening to a while back.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_02: They brought up, they said, Oh, there was nothing better than 80s music, and I go, Yeah, 90s music.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_02: And don't get me wrong, 80s music was phenomenal.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah you know, a lot of people talk about pop music, and I think the 80s was when it really started to to meld.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, and as much as I complain about it, I like it though, because it it it gave there's no like I like not going like progressive rock, like we talked about in the bull session.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like do things outside of the box.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_02: That's what makes it art.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_02: Like, don't follow whatever you know, what they say you have to follow.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_01: I think that's what was interesting about the 80s when you start talking and delving into pop music.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_01: Not to turn this into any kind of a music episode or anything like that, just it's just part of the segment, but you did have a lot of the same 80s sound through multiple hits and years.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: And that's fine, but it was all different and growing, and then you hit the 90s, and that sound kind of faded away, and you got more alternative stuff.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, so where you were kind of in the 80s, it was very synth pop-based, you know, very keyboardy, synthy, and then you get into alternative and you're more into riffs and actual guitar, dirty guitar, yeah.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and the birth of grunge.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and and and and just to piggyback real quick, hip hop was the same thing because you went from a hip, hop, a hip into the hip hop, to you know, uh um California love and fucking my name is my MM.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_02: So right it was a bigger like even than now, the evolutions aren't like it was.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_02: Like if you go 50s to 60s, 60s to 70s, 70s, the 80s to the 90s, and I think that goes because we're the technological age that technology had jumped so quickly that it changed so rapidly and in focus that we just started to see because again, formulas were a thing, it was like it worked right, right.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you didn't see a lot of underground artists.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, really, if you really want to think about it, I'm sure there was ones, but the first that really made a name for themselves, and even though I'm not the biggest fan was ICP.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_02: You know, they were trying to get signed that Disney actually signed them and then dropped them when they figured out what they were.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but see, that's the thing.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_01: You you really don't care for them.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: I find the funniness in it, I love it.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's some of it's kind of cringe, don't get me wrong.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_02: It's not even that, because there's things that I listen to in hip-hop, and one day I'll let you hear it, and you'll see that's were almost worse than anything they said.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_02: What I what I don't like about it is that they I'm not gonna call them because oh I'm gonna get ripped for this.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_02: And you don't want the juggalos coming after you.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_02: Negative.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_02: Um well you, not me.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_02: They're they're well and and and I'm acknowledging they're talented.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_02: And the great Malenko, it's an amazing album, and the guys are talented.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_02: It's just not it's not your cup of tea.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_02: It's not my cup of tea.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_02: And nothing wrong with that at all.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_02: I I you know it just for me, it's one of those, it's like um I don't know how to explain this without sounding like an asshole.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_01: An asshole.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_02: It it it reminds me of like teenage early 20s type.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_02: Like fun and stuff like that.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm a lot more mellow now.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: Because I did listen to them back then.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_02: Like I I mean, I I won't act like I didn't.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but I just I I I don't know.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_02: I guess I grew out of them.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_02: But there's sure there's there's a massive amount of artists that I grew out of that I would like to do.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: Same here, same here.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_01: Uh again, I I like those guys, and I but I I actually follow Violin J on on TikTok because he's got one, and yeah, but it's cool, like I said, I I liked them not as much as the you know the juggalos do, and that's fine, dude.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: That's it's great that you have that.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, I think it's amazing, and and shout out to you guys for keeping them alive.

  SPEAKER_02: Like, dude, you fan, you juggle, like I ain't got nothing to say about you guys.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_02: You guys are loyal to a and that's tough to find.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, it is super tough to find.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: Um, they don't never like you know, a lot of fan bases will turn on them.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know, oh, you're not making the same music you used to make, and it's like, well, you don't want to you gotta grow.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I and I say this all the time.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: If you want to listen to uh a specific sound from your the your favorite band, then go back to that album.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like you can't expect them to creep keep creating the same, it's not gonna work.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_02: But but back to yeah, I mean in in the 80s, early 90s, like like you had alluded to, we you know, we all we had to do was check in, you had to have your ass at least in in in sight in eyesight distance if the streetlights came on.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yelling, I'm coming home! Yeah, yeah.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_02: Um don't beat me.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it's all the memes you guys see.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_02: We lived it, drinking out the hose, like you know, get out of my house, you're not staying in the house all day, and you know, stuff like that.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: But it's literally why I love the the Goonies so much because it's that's what that was summer the case.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_02: We did we did that, except we went on fake adventures.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_02: They got to go on a real I mean we went on adventures, but we would make shit up.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_02: Like I can't tell you how many times, like I mean, it's right over here on on um uh what is it?
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_02: Pioneer that that um cemetery, they say there was all kinds of yeah, you know, stories and and and you know uh theories of of shit that was there.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_02: Who's there?
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_02: And we would go try to you know explore that, and then there was Cadillac Hill and Downtown, yeah.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, there I mean there's so many different uh Crybaby Bridge.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_02: I mean I remember Crybaby Bridge.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: For you guys that are from there, used to be, I don't think you can hear it anymore, but for years apparently they said at certain times of the night at this bridge, it sounded like a baby was crying in the in the distance.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_02: I only went there once, super natural, and I didn't experience it, but I I knew a lot of people that swore up and down that that was real.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't uh I don't subscribe to the ghost podcast.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_02: Um my here's my thing.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_02: I find it hard to believe that everybody in the history of time has been wrong about it.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but I also think like everything else, it becomes a fad and something cool to do.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um I don't know if there's ghosts.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_02: I know I've had experiences as a child, and I know I've had experiences as an adult that I can't explain, but that's what I leave them as as I can't explain.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_02: Unexplainable.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_02: So, but um obviously we're not doing transition work today, so we'll go into our next topic.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_02: Ooh, no transition work?
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_02: God damn it.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_02: No, not today.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, so what are what are some things or something that you feel everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime?
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, you're throwing it to me to lead this off?
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, why not, man?
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_02: I I mean, I and it can be uh uh experiences, vacations, it can be a sporting event, it I mean, it can be getting married, having whatever, whatever you want it to be.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_02: But what's something that you've done or accomplished, and you go, you know, I feel like everybody at some point should do this.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_01: And you've experienced this as well.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_01: In fact, anybody that's become a parent has your the birth of your first child, you know.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_01: I I feel like everybody should experience that because you don't understand what true love really truly is until you have your first child.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: You can you can love your wife or your husband all you want, but it's a different kind of love for your children.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's in my experience, everybody I've ever known to have kids say the same thing.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know why, but just that moment.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_02: Like, you know they're pregnant, yes, you you know it, but the moment they're born and you hold them, everything changes.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_02: And it's weird because like you know it's gonna change, and in your minds you think it's changing, but you don't understand until you hold it, right?
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_02: And then everything goes, oh shit.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, now now you know, so I that's a that's an a I I absolutely agree with that.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_02: However, there are people that are dead set in not wanting kids, and I think that's a good thing if you know you're not built to to be a parent.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_02: Or being self-aware enough to go, I don't think I would be good at that because I don't have the patience.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_02: That's okay, right, and I think it's good that there are people that can admit that and hold to it.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_01: So and there are those those ones out there.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_01: In fact, I have I have a friend, I'm not gonna name any names, but uh the wife can't have children, unfortunately, and they've tried and I feel bad because I think they would be great parents.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_01: They're awesome dog parents.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_01: Love you guys, by the way.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_01: And that makes me sad.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and and the caveat to that is we also and we both know people, um, where both parents are pieces of shit and shouldn't have children, but they have like nine and you're like And it's like okay, you know, like you know, and that's kind of you know the the irony in the world and how that works.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, you know, people gotta suffer in not having kids when there's people out here having a ton of kids that don't really want to take care of them, but or just simply suck at life.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, what can you do?
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_02: Um for me, um I actually chose this one outside of myself because I actually hate this thing.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_02: Um but I do understand the appeal of it, especially if you've never experienced it.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_02: And that's snow.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_01: I I um I actually wrote something down a little different.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_01: I said an Ohio winter.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that's yeah, that's a good one because when you you can experience all four weather uh or all four seasons in one day in one day in Ohio.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_02: But the snow thing, there was one time like I I I hate the cold.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_02: I hate the snow.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not a fan.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um, more so because of the travel aspect of it.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_02: It sucks.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but plus, like you just you can't do anything in it really.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, as a kid you can, but as an adult, outside of shovel.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_02: That's all you can do.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_02: You can't even really shovel at a certain way.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_02: But there was one time, because I mean, you for all you people listening from afar, this was actually one of the more heavier winters we've had in well close to a decade as far as temperatures and the amount of snow that we had gotten.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_02: Um, it had gotten pretty mild.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_02: We'd have one or two occasions where it would dip a little temperature-wise, and we'd have snow for one or two days.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_02: But this last one, if you remember, we had a couple of those were like, I mean, there's places that got like 18 inches at one time.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so I and and I remember walking out the one time, the wind hadn't been blowing, and everything was smooth.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_02: You know the look I'm talking about.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_02: The trees had it on it, and I had to admit myself, as much as I hated, I was like, it's so beautiful.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_02: And I do think that everybody should get to witness that at least once in their life.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_01: I agree with you when it's all nice and smooth like that before it's been trudged on and driven on, and it's like and you gotta get out the snowblower, the shovel.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_01: But it almost feeds the OCD where it's like, ooh, nice.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it looks like perfect corner view.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it yeah.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: I don't I don't have a lot of a lot of vices, but that's like stuff like that.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, ooh.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I mean.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I hate the winter.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: I I absolutely hate the snow.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_01: But I will tell you this, because you already understand where I'm gonna go with this, right?
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_01: When we get that much snow, what normally happens?
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_01: You trudge it down, your dogs go outside, they trudge it down, and then inevitably you get another four or five inches of snow.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_01: And then come the beginning of March-ish, end of February, when everything starts to go and melt, what are you left with in your fucking yard?
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing but dog dew.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_01: Dog shit surprise everywhere.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_01: Please don't mind the landmines.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, yep.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's the bane of my existence every spring.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_01: And there's nothing you can do about it because it's no longer in solid form.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's somewhere in the middle.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_01: It's like soft serve and almost liquid.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_02: It's uh how I'm trying to think of what it's it's it's almost like a hot pocket.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_02: Really crunchy on the outside and soft and nasty in the middle.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_01: And I've got two big horses that are just you know.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_01: So what's another one from you?
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna go concerts, man.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like everybody should experience, and especially if you have a favorite group, artist, band, uh, orchestra.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't matter.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_01: You should experience that once in your life.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_01: I've experienced it luckily with my favorite band, and I've seen a lot of my favorite bands, zuh.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_01: But you should definitely get your ass out to a concert.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, live shows when it comes to music.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_02: Amazing.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_02: I'm a hip-hop head and I've been to some pretty good hip-hop shows, but like going to a rock concert, it's just something different about it.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_02: It's just different.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_02: I've been to one country show, I've seen different artists, and there's just seeing music live, it's just it's something different.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's the moment you walk through the gates, it just feels different.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_02: It's just an it's right, it's such an experience.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_02: And and we're privileged in the fact that I've seen concerts in different states, in different cities, and I have to say, one of the best venues I've been to is Blossom.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_02: I I just it's crazy because like that experience there, it's it's got a pavilion and lawn, so they can make it affordable for people that want to go see.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not saying it's the best, I said it's one of.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_02: Like it's just it's an amphitheater, and it's I will go with this caveat here.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_01: For me, personally, for me, pavilion is amazing.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_01: I know you've probably sat pavilion with a tons of.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_02: I sat there for Wu-Tang, for Breaking Benjamin.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_01: Especially as you get older, you don't want to sit on the ground.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_01: No, that shit hurts, it's annoying.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_01: You it the bugs and stuff.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_01: I'm good.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_01: When I was younger, I just said, fuck yeah, put me on the lawn, I'll be awesome.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_01: I'll headbang, mosh pit, whatever.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_01: Now that I'm in my 40s, I'll take my little seat, my assigned space, and I'm good.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: I can headbang from there.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_02: You that way you can get done, sit down, rest, get up, sit down, rest.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_02: Rest the bones.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_02: It's hey dude, it's an exercise.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, now, yeah.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_01: But see, for me, for me, uh nowadays I I feel I know I'm gonna sound like an an old fart.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_01: But a lot of the stuff I love, alive, man, that shit bothers me now.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_01: It like the bass thumping and just like not so much my ears, but I I'm one of those weird ones that I can it really affects me when I feel it in my chest.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_01: And it drives my anxiety up through the ceiling, and I'm like, I need to leave, or I need to take my medicine, and I'm gonna fucking ruin this concert for everybody that's with me.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_01: So I try not to Yeah.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, and I'm the same way, like it got to the point where when me and Ryan and we're going to shows, uh, we started getting a pavilion just for that same reason.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but yeah, it's it's it's you you should definitely experience a live show like that.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_02: I've been to at least 25 concerts in my day.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_02: Hell yeah.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_02: You know, and I've probably been close to that.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_02: Um I I'll go into my next one.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_02: Um as somebody that's very familiar uh with this one, uh unfortunately we work together a lot.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_02: Um but I think everybody should uh experience failure.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_01: Failure.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_02: There's there's you you can't appreciate the good things and the successes in life without failure.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_02: I agree with you.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_02: Um failure has been my biggest teacher, obviously, in my life.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_02: Um my dad was good at at teaching you you gotta be a man, you gotta do that stuff.
• 28:09
  SPEAKER_02: Like he could do that.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_02: Um but he never taught me how to deal with failure, so I had to figure that out on my own.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but I can tell you this.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_02: When I've succeeded the most in my life, I can directly look that right before that something went terribly wrong.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_02: Same.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, uh not to get a little uh preachy and and and and uh philosophical, but I I I think uh failure is one of our biggest teachers, and and I don't think, you know, and and and and again, don't dwell on it, but use that.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, you know, I've used this before, but in National Treasure, uh Nick K, Nicholas Cage, he makes a comment that Thomas Edison would ask why he failed at making a light bulb.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_02: He said, I didn't fail.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_02: I found 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_02: Right, yeah, and that's the best attitude to have.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_02: It's like I agree.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, I failed.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_02: Then like I would tell you.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_02: How can I make it?
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_02: How can I fix it?
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_02: Well, Ty would come to me, he'd be like, Man, I can't beat this boss on this game.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, Are you trying the same thing?
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_02: He goes, Yeah, so then try something different.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_02: I said, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_02: I said, try something different.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_02: If that's not working, then try something else.
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_02: I said, and if that doesn't work, then you try something else.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_02: And so guess what?
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_02: And he goes, What?
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_02: I said, You beat him.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_02: Guess what?
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_02: Half hour, hour, maybe even the next day.
• 29:37
  SPEAKER_02: Got it.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_02: Bye bye, beat it.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_02: Nice, told you, man.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_02: I said, you just gotta learn.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_02: Like, and that's it.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_02: I said, failing only shows you what not to do in the future.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_02: And that's your biggest teacher.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_02: So wanna do one more and then we'll move into our next segment.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, I think so.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_01: I think I'm gonna skip that one.
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna go with a good vacation.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_01: I uh I agree.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_00: I agree.
• 30:06
  SPEAKER_01: I I love a good vacation.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_01: In fact, we just did a uh an episode about it here a little bit ago.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, we did.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_01: And in the same vein of that, just getting a nice reset and getting away from home, work, life, dogs, you know, just to get a break, you know.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it it's something that like that switch hits and you turn off regular life and you know, and again, we talked about it in in the in the other episode, but um, you know, it as parents uh vacationing, it can be stressful and all that.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_02: But again, it's still away from regular life.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_02: And you have your little moments, you know.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_02: Because the dads usually the dad and the mom are usually orchestrating it and they get little time to enjoy you know parts of the vacation.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_02: So when they do, it's it's it's good.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_02: But I I I absolutely agree with you.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, everybody should experience it at least once.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, maybe every year if you got the money.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_02: Um I guess for my last one, uh going on that same token, I think everybody should go look at Disney.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_02: Disney World.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, everybody needs to go to Disney World or Disney.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_02: I prefer Disney World over Disneyland from everything.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_02: I've never been to Disneyland, right?
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but I've heard World is better.

  SPEAKER_02: So um, but yeah, I just think you know Disney has so much now that it's got something for everybody.
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_02: It truly does, and and it's just an experience like you'll never see.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's literally its own its own city, basically.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, big time.

  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, I think I would I would go just to piggyback on what you said.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I would love to go now.
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I went when I was a you know a teenager.

• 32:04
  SPEAKER_02: Hey man, we talked about a brochure.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_01: I know, that'll be fun.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_02: We might have to we might have to address that later.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_02: I would have to get clearance from the bus.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe we can work something out.
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_02: But all right, let's we'll go into our next question.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_02: So, this is a good one.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_02: I I I like this one.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_02: I liked it too.
• 32:26
  SPEAKER_02: If we won a hundred million dollars today, right now, what would you do?
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm sure some of our answers are gonna be pretty similar.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_01: So I'll start with the obvious.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm 43 years old, I'm fucking retiring.
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_01: You know that's number one on my list, bro.
• 32:45
  SPEAKER_02: I wrote that bitch with an exclamation point.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yep, that that would be my number one.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_02: I love my job enough that I would give them a notion.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_02: I would give them a decent amount.
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, um, I don't I don't hate my job.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, um, I would say though, like, hey, can I work from home though for the rest of the Yeah?
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I agree, but yeah, I mean, uh, and and and especially with you, you know, with your anxiety, with your sciatica and stuff like that, you know, people don't understand like the retiring man.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_02: There's a lot of freedom in that.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_02: There's a lot of scaring, scariness to it, but if you win a hundred million dollars, that shit's out the windows, yeah.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_01: Who cares?
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but yeah, I I I mean, I got the first one same.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, bro, I ain't working another fucking day.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, we would do this.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, we would buy I'm telling you right now I I want to wait.
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because I I I don't have it on here because I kept it in my head.
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I'll just go on that um real quick.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um I I I gotta take care of everybody.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_02: You know, i if I were to hit that right now, Bob, I gotta take care of you.
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I gotta take care of Jermaine and his family.
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I gotta get Vonnie set up.
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_02: And uh, you know, obviously I'd put back enough that no matter what Tyre would do, he'd have something to fall back on.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but yeah, I mean uh that that's just a goal of mine.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you know, I I always hated the fact that like, you know, that was important to me even when I was young.
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_02: And said if I had a lot of money, I'd want to take care of people.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_02: And somehow a lot of money never found it my way.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, me neither.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_02: And yet I would do good things with it, probably because I would do the dumb shit I'm gonna talk about next with it, because you know I had to bring up dumb shit.
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, of course.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but what's what's something else you would do with it?
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_01: And me and my wife have talked hypothetically, of course, about it for a long time.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_01: I would buy land, and I'm not talking like two or three acres, four or five acres.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, you're talking like fifty, sixty to a hundred acres.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_01: Fifty to a hundred minimum.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm talking something that like it would literally be like the nickelback song, you know, rock star, and it would be like a bath a bathroom I can play baseball in.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm building a house too.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm oh the we can get into that in a minute.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_02: I I I had an idea for that.
• 35:08
  SPEAKER_01: My ridiculousness side would be that.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_02: Um uh after retirement and taking care of everything, the first thing I'm doing is I'm securing us a top-notch studio.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_02: We're putting all the best equipment in that shit, and we're starting our own business.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.

• 35:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_02: We can get content creators and put them out there.
• 35:32
  SPEAKER_02: We'll get them, but that's definitely something I would want to do.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_02: Um, to go to a I'd buy a lot of weapons, and I don't mean guns.

• 35:45
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 35:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, I'm looking for people that can like like these dudes that are making like real lightsabers out of stuff.

• 35:52
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, dude, I'm buying all that shit.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_02: Uh now we're getting into the fun stuff.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_02: Um, uh like I'm getting uh fucking He-Man's sword.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_02: Like I'm having to make Conan the Barbarian.

  SPEAKER_02: I want that.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know, I want all that shit.
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, that that would be one of the one of the mindless self-indulgence.

  SPEAKER_02: Good band.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_02: Um that I that I would partake in.

• 36:19
  SPEAKER_02: I know you got some good shit tucked under the belt there.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_01: I I'm gonna be in agreement with you on most of that.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_01: My biggest thing is is after I would retire, is I'm buying a stupid big RV, and you're not gonna hear from me for about a month and a half, and I'm just gonna go travel to the United States and do what I want to do.
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_02: I've always wanted to do that too.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_01: And just get the hell out of here for I mean, and I mean straight.

• 36:54
  SPEAKER_01: Kind of goes with, you know, a good vacation.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_01: But you know, this some of the stupid shit I would do, honestly, if I had that.

  SPEAKER_01: I I really think uh after building my house, it would be big enough.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_01: My basement, I'm gonna have a couple bowling lanes down there.
• 37:11
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's amazing.
• 37:12

• 37:13
  SPEAKER_02: LeBron had bowling, he loves bowling, he's had one in his own.

• 37:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they have everything they need in there, they get fed in there.
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_02: I'd have like a little, like, um, like the like you know how a lot of pet stores now will wash your dogs for you.
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_02: I'd have one of those little stations, like a grooming station, I'd have everything in that bitch form.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_02: Hell yeah.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um uh but yeah, um, and my collection, which we've done a couple episodes, would be massive, ridiculous.
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yesterday, um Ty got more money for his birthday, and you know, since it's just been me, him, and and and Sonny, and you know, Sonny's not really a social person, she only really goes out when she has to.
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_02: So uh me and Ty decided to go out.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_02: Uh he got some money from his grandpa.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_02: Awesome.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_02: And uh, you know, he we went to like a game stop, wanted to see if there's a game there, and then we went to the exchange.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_02: Uh-huh.
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, and then down by you, uh on Tusk, uh, there's a card and collectible store.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_02: Uh so we went in there to see that.

  SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately, nothing appealed to him because it's more towards us.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_02: But I was in there like, I could spend a lot of fucking money in here.
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_02: And what better way to do it than winning a hundred million dollars?
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_01: I would have to buy guitars too.
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_01: I need more guitars in my life.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_01: That would be my vice.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_01: I had this conversation with my brother-in-law.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_01: Uh they like guns, which is fine.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_01: That's some people's things.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, and I would always tell him where you would dump money into a weapon like that.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I want a guitar.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and that would be my thing.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_01: I would have to have it I wouldn't even have to do anything as far as looking for a studio.
• 39:20
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just gonna build one in my house.
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I'm saying with a hundred million dollars.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_01: And then I'm gonna invest what I can too.
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, I would definitely be smart about it.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_02: Make your make your money work for you.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm gonna be I'm gonna have my splurges.
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_01: Don't don't get me wrong.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_01: But there's gonna be investments made to where I can live into retirement and not be broke.
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_02: The definition of wealth and and and financial freedom is as long as your children do better than you do, you're building a legacy.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 39:51
  SPEAKER_02: And that's all I'm trying to do.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_02: Like I'm doing better than my parents were at my age.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so I mean, you know, as long as now Ty and Sonny and you know, and and your kids, hopefully they all can strive and and and and build a better life than than than we were able to build.
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but on that, we're gonna get into the last two, which are funny questions, and I love both of them.
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_02: But uh the dumbest ways we've hurt ourselves.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, this we could have done a whole episode on this, but I only mentioned uh uh three of them, and one of them I'm I'm if I know if I know my buddy, I think he's gonna mention, but I'm gonna go?
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'll go if you go.
• 40:37
  SPEAKER_02: No, you I'll tell a quick story.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_02: Um you can see the skirt.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'll put it up here see if you guys can see it.
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_02: In oh eight, oh nine, I was working at Wings and I was training a guy, and it was a Saturday morning, and um I opened and we had Philly cheesesteaks, and the way we would get them is they would come in frozen, but they were like pucks and sometimes they would be frozen together.
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_02: And I did the pop a little bit to try to break them loose, and I just could not get them loose.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_02: So I went to put a knife in, and rather than have it on something, no, I had it held like this and was trying to separate them, and it it released them.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, right into your hand, right?
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I was actually holding it like this, and when I did when I did it, sorry, I got away from the mic, I saw the tip come out the other side.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_02: Not come out, not like it pushed your skin, but it pushed the skin up.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, oh, that's that's not good.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so I told my boss, and I wrapped the towel around a real kid, and mind you, this new kid that started was 19.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_02: It's his first day traumatic.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_02: Let me just say this.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_02: He didn't come back.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but I I told my boss and whatnot, and I had a towel around me.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_02: She goes, What'd you do?
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_02: And I said, I put a knife through my hand.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_02: She was like, Let me see it.
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, Well, I'm trying to keep it.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_02: She's like, I gotta see how bad it is.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_02: And I looked at it and she's like, Yeah, you're gonna need stitches.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_01: Um, they probably just super glue it now.
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um, the thing was, is in between here, went numb immediately.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, so you got a nerve?
• 42:21
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and the problem is I still can't feel anything in here.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I remember going to my primary, and she was like, at the time, she was like, nerves are funny.
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_02: She was like, You may get it back.
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yep, you might get it back.
• 42:31
  SPEAKER_02: It may take a month, it could take a year, it could take 10 years, or you may never get that feeling back.
• 42:36
  SPEAKER_02: And so far, never it's been almost 20 years now.
• 42:40
  SPEAKER_02: And like, even when I tap it, I can feel my whole hand tingle.
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 42:45
  SPEAKER_01: Nerves are fun, yeah.
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but what's what's one of the the the dumbest ways you've hurt yourself?
• 42:51
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna go with the stitches story as well.
• 42:54
  SPEAKER_00: Uh-oh.
• 42:54
  SPEAKER_01: And this happened when I was about 15.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_01: I was a freshman in high school, me and my sister were being siblings, and she said something, I said something, she ran out the house, I followed after her, and she slammed the screen door behind her, and I went to stick my hands out to stop it, and my hand went right through the plexiglass.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_01: Plexiglass.
• 43:18
  SPEAKER_01: Plexiglass.
• 43:19
  SPEAKER_01: Holy shit.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_01: Needless to say, I was lucky I had my watch on at the time.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_01: Not obviously not this one, but I had a watch on.
• 43:27
  SPEAKER_01: I ended up getting uh well, you can't see it really anymore, but I ended up getting like four stitches in my wrist as I had like shit hanging out of my my wrist.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_01: Damn, that got you.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_01: It got me good.
• 43:41
  SPEAKER_01: And I was lucky.
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_01: In fact, the doctor said, you know, you were lucky that you had your watch on.
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_01: Because you probably would have slit your wrist and it would have been a different situation.
• 43:51
  SPEAKER_01: No, no kidding.
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_01: So I thought that was pretty dumb.
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_01: But the shit you do as a kid is like it pales in comparison sometimes.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_02: That's okay, I'll piggyback on.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sitting in sixth grade class uh at Goodyear Middle School and I had uh a desk right next to the wall, like it was up against the wall.
• 44:14
  SPEAKER_02: And there was a light socket.
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_02: Oh no.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_02: And I had a paper clip.
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_02: Oh no! And I had to see if it was true.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_02: No, I didn't.
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I never did it again after that.
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_02: You got zapped.
• 44:26
  SPEAKER_02: It'll get you, guys.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_02: They're not lying when they say it's a good thing.
• 44:29
  SPEAKER_02: 110 is well, and I'm I I'm aware that that's a lot of people are gonna be like, Yeah, you gotta be dumb.
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_02: But it was one of those where when you're a kid, it doesn't matter how many people tell you something.
• 44:39
  SPEAKER_02: You're like, are they telling you?
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, because if you really think about it, a lot of the shit our parents told us were lies.
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_02: They told us that you would get a ticket if you left your dome light on.
• 44:47
  SPEAKER_02: That's never been a law.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_02: Huh.
• 44:49
  SPEAKER_02: U-turns are not illegal anywhere unless there's a sign.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_02: If there's no sign, it's not illegal.
• 44:56
  SPEAKER_02: Like, there's just a lot of shit that we've been told.
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_02: That, you know, so it's like, eh.
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I didn't know that then, but now looking back, I don't feel like I was a complete idiot.
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, yeah, maybe it won't shock me, you know what I mean?
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_02: No, it's the fuck out of you, dude.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_02: In the middle of class.
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_02: And of course I'm in sixth grade, so I'm aware that I'm an idiot.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm like, well, I'm not telling anybody.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_02: I just got partially electrocuted.
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm like, fuck dumbass.
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, then and yeah, I don't, yeah.
• 45:23
  SPEAKER_02: That's that's hilarious.

• 49:39
  SPEAKER_01: This is how I can tell the weather when the weather changes.
• 49:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_01: Uh kind of stupid how it happened, but uh 17 playing in a church softball scrimmage, uh playing out of position because of my coach at the time, God rest his soul.
• 49:56
  SPEAKER_01: Love the man.
• 49:57
  SPEAKER_01: He's the one that performed my wedding ceremony.
• 49:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, just just lost him this year.
• 50:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_01: But uh I was playing shortstop as a left-handed person.
• 50:06
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's not fun.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so here's where the stupid part comes in.
• 50:10
  SPEAKER_01: My competitive nature at the time at 17 years old, ground ball fielded at shortstop, and I decide, well, I'm gonna turn a double play.
• 50:19
  SPEAKER_01: And I came across the bag and my spike said, No, the fuck, you're not turning a double play.
• 50:24
  SPEAKER_01: And my knee sounded like a transformer, it went and I went, fell flat on my face and uh probably invented a couple new curse words in front of church people.
• 50:35
  SPEAKER_01: Ooh, I bet that hurt.
• 50:36
  SPEAKER_01: I ended up tearing my meniscus and I mostly tore my ACL.
• 50:43
  SPEAKER_01: It was hanging on by about a millimeter.
• 50:46
  SPEAKER_01: So, unfortunately, at that point in time, in the late 90s, early 2000s when that happened, they didn't want to do surgery on a 17-year-old kid.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_01: No, they didn't do that very often back then.
• 50:58
  SPEAKER_01: Because it wasn't a complete tear.
• 51:00
  SPEAKER_01: So I had to live my life for about four, five months in a neo-mobilizer from my hip to my ankle on crutches.
• 51:12
  SPEAKER_01: And yeah, it was horrible.
• 51:15
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, because you wanted to be uh Ricky Henderson.
• 51:19
  SPEAKER_02: Something.
• 51:19
  SPEAKER_02: Omar, yeah.
• 51:22
  SPEAKER_02: I know I know Ricky wasn't a shortstop, but I couldn't think of a shortstop off the top of my head.
• 51:28
  SPEAKER_01: When it happened, I couldn't believe it happened, and my dad's like, just get up, and I'm like, I don't think I can pour any Robotussin on this, dad.
• 51:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 51:34
  SPEAKER_01: This ain't that kind of fix, bro.
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_01: No, when I heard the transformer pop, pop, pop, I'm like, that's toast.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, that'll never be the same.
• 51:42
  SPEAKER_01: So now I can tell the weather and limp.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, I can do the same, but I never thankfully that that I know of tore or did anything on my knees, but yeah, just the constant being heavy and playing sports and really kind of wore my knees down.
• 51:55
  SPEAKER_02: So again, I feel the same way, but um, you got any more?
• 52:00
  SPEAKER_02: I don't I don't really have any.
• 52:01
  SPEAKER_02: Go ahead, go ahead, give us one more.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_01: I do have one more.
• 52:04
  SPEAKER_01: Uh it wasn't but a couple months after we bought our house and moved in, I was taking the trash out.
• 52:12
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't know, you m you might remember the way the back of my house was set up before I changed everything and built a deck.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_01: We we used to have the ramp off the room.
• 52:22
  SPEAKER_02: I remember the ramp.
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_01: And then the other side up against the house, there was a couple steps.
• 52:27
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 52:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 52:29
  SPEAKER_01: So I was coming down the steps to take the trash out to the trash can because we put the trash can in a different spot at the time where the deck is now.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_01: And didn't realize that the one board was fucking rotten and my foot went completely through the board, scratched the inside of my ankle.
• 52:46
  SPEAKER_01: Luckily I had socks on because it was October.
• 52:49
  SPEAKER_01: Slippers and socks.
• 52:51
  SPEAKER_01: And I said, Well, that sucks.
• 52:55
  SPEAKER_01: Went inside after putting the trash in the trash can, called the old man, I said, Hey, come over tomorrow.
• 53:03
  SPEAKER_01: We got a set of steps to build.
• 53:05
  SPEAKER_01: Replace the steps.
• 53:07
  SPEAKER_01: Which subsequently they got moved over when the ramp collapsed because shit happens.
• 53:12
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 53:12
  SPEAKER_01: And then they went completely away because now I built a deck.
• 53:16
  SPEAKER_01: So now my back porch goes onto my back deck.
• 53:19
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I almost died.
• 53:21
  SPEAKER_01: That's crazy.
• 53:22
  SPEAKER_01: But I mean wood.
• 53:24
  SPEAKER_02: That's the that's the kind of crap that happens with that.
• 53:27
  SPEAKER_01: But that that's that's the thing they don't tell you about when you become a homeowner and you're responsible for all of that shit.
• 53:33
  SPEAKER_01: Everything.
• 53:34
  SPEAKER_01: And it's like, well, I'm glad I have a little bit of a background in being able to fix stuff and being handy.
• 53:39
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 53:39
  SPEAKER_01: Uh my wife kind of enjoys that because it's like, hey baby, can you fix this?
• 53:42
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, sure.
• 53:44
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so this last one ought to be fun.
• 53:48
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 53:48
  SPEAKER_02: If animals had jobs.
• 53:50
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't even write it down.
• 53:52
  SPEAKER_02: Um, we can go off the top of the dome because I never really write a little either, so it should be funnier.
• 53:57
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I'll go first.
• 53:59
  SPEAKER_02: My first one, uh I'm gonna say sloths for the military.
• 54:06
  SPEAKER_02: Hear me out.
• 54:07
  SPEAKER_02: So there's snipers and stuff like that, and there's been many a times where they had to uh like there's been stories where snipers have had to crawl miles in ghillie suits, and sloths would be perfect for that.
• 54:25
  SPEAKER_02: They can sit there and not move for a long time.
• 54:28
  SPEAKER_02: You give a sloth a sniper rifle.
• 54:30
  SPEAKER_02: That's your that's your best, that's your best bet.
• 54:33
  SPEAKER_02: Interesting.
• 54:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know why that popped in my head, but that's the way I was going about it.
• 54:37
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, don't overthink it, just say it.
• 54:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, just say it.
• 54:39
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, I feel like they would be excellent snipers.
• 54:42
  SPEAKER_01: Excellent snipers.
• 54:43
  SPEAKER_01: I I think a uh a lion or a tiger would be probably a a great butcher.
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_02: Ooh, yeah, because then they would they well, yeah, they don't need tools, they got teeth and teeth and claws.
• 54:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's a good one.
