What Losers Are We? - h8dit 2 · thxh8dit

0:00
Yeah, when people tell me to gamify my life, they're like,
0:02
make it a reward system. I'm like, I reward myself no
0:05
matter what. 100%. I don't.
0:07
I don't, I'm not a masochist anymore.
0:09
I don't withhold treats because I didn't do good.
0:14
Yeah, like that doesn't work for me.
0:15
I I have no you're. Alive, you did good today.
0:18
Like you reward yourself. I have no no reward center.
0:24
It doesn't work like that for me.
0:25
I didn't kill myself and I didn't kill anybody else.
0:27
Yeah, exactly. Welcome back guys.
0:40
This is thanks. Hated it.
0:42
I'm here with Ryan. Amber will be joining shortly.
0:45
She's busy making a pot of WHOP. Nobody can hear you.
0:52
Macaroni in a pot. I like the warrior one.
0:58
The warrior one. Is it Luigi?
1:01
Thought I was worried. What?
1:03
So there's a we will show you. OK, well then don't even discuss
1:10
with the I'm just La La, La La la.
1:12
TuneIn for that guys it'll be on our on the YouTube channel.
1:17
Oh my God, the save me Mario song that was made.
1:23
Oh my God. It's honestly, if you ask me,
1:28
like, would you listen to Jim Morrison or this song again?
1:33
I'd be like, put that song back on.
1:35
It's. So good.
1:36
I don't know how he got it so good.
1:38
It's so funny. I'll show you that one too.
1:40
So then it's it's like the dude that does the Jack and Diane,
1:46
but it's mostly sucking on a chili dog.
1:50
Yes, exactly. It's funnier, but yeah, TuneIn
1:57
for that, we're going to have a YouTube section where we do.
2:03
Classy reacts. Yeah, fun stuff.
2:06
I'm not watching this Internet trash, but I will absolutely
2:09
react to some things. I'll I'll, I'll get some some
2:13
classy stuff that's going to make you sing.
2:16
What the fuck is this? Sucking on chili dog.
2:20
Sucking on a chili dog. That's what we should have
2:23
called the podcast. Sucking on a chili dog.
2:25
Sucking on a chili dog. Sucking on a chili dog.
2:27
Thanks, hated it. What's up, Goose?
2:34
So for the last episode, we ended where I was talking about
2:42
selling the business like four months ago.
2:45
Yeah. And I don't know how we got
2:49
there, but yeah, I had a landscaping business for three
2:54
years going on four and we were planning on moving from our last
3:01
place north of where we were by like an hour.
3:05
And you just, you can't keep a a service based business with your
3:09
clients two hours away. It just doesn't work.
3:13
I was already struggling pretty good because my clients were an
3:16
hour and 10 minutes away. My first account and it was
3:21
just, it was killing me. I was, I've also got a truck
3:26
where the mileage is like 12.5 I think with a trailer on it.
3:32
So I was spending, I'm not kidding, I was spending 60 bucks
3:36
a day just just to work. Which is crazy.
3:40
It was insane. I, I couldn't make much of
3:43
anything, but it kept going for the time that we were there.
3:47
And thankfully Ryan so graciously lent us a room and
3:53
now we're an hour and 10 S of where we were, if not more.
3:59
And now I'm back to my service area.
4:01
So I won't be selling the business.
4:03
But it is really funny because for months I knew what I was
4:10
going to do. I knew I was going to sell.
4:11
I knew I was going to get rid of the equipment in my accounts and
4:14
maybe sell it as a whole, maybe part it out, who knows.
4:16
But I, I knew that. So for three or four months at
4:20
the end there, I, I got a bunch of business credit because what
4:27
do you do when you're selling a business?
4:29
You suck every sole penny out of it.
4:32
And that's what I did. I got a bunch of business credit
4:34
and I, I put some tires on my truck and I took care of some of
4:38
my business bills that need to be paid in the insurance and the
4:44
payments on the truck and yadda yadda.
4:45
And I, I racked up a bunch of money and in credit and now I'm
4:52
not selling the business. So the 60 bucks a day in gas is
4:56
going to creditors, not really the the lenders.
4:59
But yeah, that that shot myself in the foot free hard instead of
5:04
saving me. What, 240 a week now it's going
5:08
back to other people, but hopefully in the next three or
5:11
four months by summer, it'll all be paid off and I'll be back to
5:15
square one again. But I, I definitely think this
5:18
is a better position to be in because just trying to keep your
5:24
clients while you're so far away and it's a weather dependent
5:29
business, it just doesn't work. And now here I can, I can do it
5:32
anytime I want at any time of day, Monday through Sunday.
5:36
And it's it's already been a massive help.
5:42
Yeah. Because I before it was just
5:44
such a struggle to do anything. And now it's just everything's
5:48
so much easier, so much easier. I'm glad I'm keeping it.
5:52
It's it's, it's also one thing that you got to think about it,
5:56
it wasn't that you were racking up business credit for non
6:03
essential things. No, it needed to be.
6:07
Done. All of the stuff needed to be
6:08
done. It just didn't need to be.
6:09
Done all at once right then. Yeah, yeah.
6:12
That kind of. So it's it's like, well, now you
6:14
don't have to worry about it. So now it's done.
6:19
Yeah, it's it's a little bit iffy, but you're going to get it
6:23
paid off. You're going.
6:24
To. It'll be fine.
6:25
It was. Just that was it's good.
6:27
I was not expecting to run it up and then pretty much have to
6:33
tackle it right off the RIP in the new year where nothing gets
6:37
done really. Welcome back.
6:41
Amber's here. She's joined us with her.
6:43
Mac. And cheese.
6:44
Whop Wham. But I'm glad I kept it.
6:50
And that's. Just macaroni.
6:52
What we were talking about last time was the the unforeseen
6:54
hurdles that you can't even fathom until you get to him.
6:57
Yeah. And apart from venomous snakes
7:00
and just terrible, terrible clients that you'll encounter,
7:07
that's another hurdle where you're like, well, I guess I'll
7:10
move on to the next thing because this just doesn't work
7:12
in this where we're at this climate, this whatever it is.
7:17
And then come to find out 10 days before you're set to sell,
7:22
you get picked up and and now you're keeping it.
7:26
It's like, OK, now what? So it's just another hurdle and
7:32
thanks. Loved it.
7:33
Thanks. I hated it.
7:35
Yeah. I I love my business.
7:38
I'm glad I don't have to sell or don't need to sell and I'm I'm
7:43
glad we were able to keep it. But with the hurdles, man, the
7:49
clients I've had, I've had some, I've had some clients, boy,
7:54
they're just. The worst?
7:56
Oh my God, some of them that I've had, I had.
7:59
I had one guy. One lady wasn't about to pay
8:01
you. Oh, I've had, I've had so many
8:03
that just I don't feel like paying.
8:05
It's like, well, that's your prerogative and I'll do what I
8:09
got to do and. You glue the fucking grass and
8:12
leaves back. So I had one where the guy
8:18
pretty much on site negotiated after we agreed to a price and
8:24
after, after it was done, made a big stink.
8:28
And instead of going, you know what, this service isn't for me.
8:32
We're just, we don't mesh. I'm going to go ahead and pay
8:36
you what we agreed to and not use you again.
8:38
That's that's perfectly acceptable.
8:40
I have no problem with that. Instead, he handed me like
8:44
$30.00, I think. And it was a $65 service and
8:49
we're talking dollars and cents here.
8:52
But it, it was the principle of it.
8:53
Yeah, he handed me $30 in cash and was like, this is all I feel
8:58
I should pay you for the service that you provided.
9:01
And it's like, buddy, I was here for two hours.
9:04
Like this is a phenomenal service you just got.
9:07
And I'm not, I'm not basting my own Turkey here, but I, I mean,
9:11
I, I did work. He had a really nice property
9:13
and I took care of it. It was just like that.
9:16
I don't know what you were looking for if this ain't it.
9:18
Like, yeah, I, I don't know what he was thinking, but I I found
9:22
out from his neighbor when I was leaving.
9:24
He's like, did you just work for that guy?
9:26
I was like, hey, he goes, oh, man.
9:28
He, he runs through landscapers like it's nobody's business.
9:30
He's got a new guy every month. I'm like, really?
9:33
He goes, yeah, he does this all the time.
9:34
I was like, understood. And then you got that guy as
9:37
your client. Yeah, the neighbor.
9:39
The neighbor. Yeah, that's awesome.
9:41
So I, I just some people, man, some people out there just
9:45
that's that's what I like about yours is, hey, I did perform the
9:49
service, but if you want the final rendition of your service
9:53
that I rendered, yeah, it better be in the account.
9:56
Yeah, yeah, like. Not being rude, this is how it
9:58
works. Pay me or you don't get the
10:00
final cut. Like yeah, the deliverables
10:02
don't come until after the payment is received.
10:05
I I should do that? But I feel like it's scummy to
10:08
charge people before a service in my industry.
10:13
Yeah, I could see that. It's It's also like at.
10:15
Least like a deposit. I mean, you're talking a deposit
10:18
of like $5. 10 I. Mean I mean still like.
10:23
But that doesn't cover. It wouldn't even cover my gas.
10:27
I dropped the tailgate on that thing and it's it's already 20
10:29
bucks. Yeah, it just if I was like when
10:35
I'm doing big accounts like 55000, like yeah, there's a
10:38
deposit. Yeah, you're paying for rentals
10:41
and equipment and everything upfront.
10:43
But yeah, obviously I'm not asking for payment till it's
10:46
done. But yeah, it's it's the same.
10:48
And that's the other thing. I haven't had any.
10:50
I haven't had any other issues besides like him and another
10:53
woman. And like when he first started
10:56
to the woman. The woman gave me an issue.
10:58
You. Know.
11:00
What's funny, she had an issue with me, then she went and
11:04
scoped out the project with other service providers.
11:07
She came back, deleted her review, put it up to five stars.
11:12
She did it like 3 stars and said you don't get what you pay for.
11:18
Yeah. Which I don't understand how you
11:21
did I not mow blow edge and weedy like that's what we agreed
11:25
it to on the estimate for this price.
11:28
That's what she got. She wrote a three star and said
11:31
did a great job. Not what I was expecting.
11:34
You don't get what you pay for. I kid you not.
11:37
She didn't pay me for like a month.
11:39
I. Finally, two months.
11:40
I finally told her I was like, hey, I can't service your
11:42
account again until I get a payment.
11:44
She was like, yeah no problem, paid me, got rid of the review,
11:46
bumped it up to five stars and never mentioned it.
11:49
I have had her as a client for three years.
11:51
Wow. Yeah, she, she estimated it with
11:54
other people. And they're like, yeah, you're
11:55
paying like 20 bucks less than everybody else.
11:58
Yeah, who you could possibly get this account for.
12:00
Like you're getting a deal. Like, I don't know why you're
12:04
estimating this. Like, why never, never leave
12:07
this. Never let this guy not be your
12:09
service provider. Why are you talking to me?
12:11
Yeah, I I thought it was I. It was give me the number of
12:14
this dude so I can call him to bump up his his number.
12:17
Yeah, I was saying and sub it out to him.
12:20
No, I, I, I used it as a confirmation.
12:22
It's another, and it was one of those things like I know what I
12:25
provide and I provide. I provide it, man.
12:29
I'm the guy who answers the phone every time.
12:32
I'm the guy who gives a fair price.
12:33
I don't intentionally ever gouge anybody.
12:38
If it's, if it's a price that's overestimated, it's because I
12:41
don't want to do it. I, I, I'm not, I'm not
12:44
interested in the project. But if, if you want me, you want
12:47
the guy that's going to answer the phone every time.
12:49
You want the guy that's going to show up on time every single
12:51
time and there's going to be notification before, during and
12:55
after. You're going to get professional
12:58
communication every time. White glove service if you need.
13:03
Literally the closest thing to white glove in Sanford.
13:07
But yeah, but it's it's just one of those things.
13:10
It was it was a confirmation of that hurdle where I thought I
13:14
killed that. And then the review came through
13:17
and it's like, wow, I don't know where the disconnect was, but I
13:20
don't feel that way. And then she fixed all of it her
13:24
on her own. I never even talked to her about
13:26
it. And it was like, OK, I'm doing
13:28
exactly what I need to be doing. That was that was exactly what I
13:31
needed to do because she she worked it out on her own.
13:34
I am. I'm killing it, dude.
13:36
Yeah. But yeah, I, I didn't want to
13:38
sell, but it just, it didn't work what we were.
13:42
And, and through the years, it's just gotten harder and harder in
13:47
different locations and just being completely out of your,
13:50
out of your county. I wasn't even in the same county
13:53
that I work in and it was just, it wasn't working.
13:55
And I'm glad we were able to work something out and, and keep
14:00
the business because man, it's, it's awesome.
14:02
It's. Picking up.
14:04
I still haven't heard back. Heard back.
14:10
Oh yeah, Ryan gave me some advice.
14:12
Ryan. On how I should estimate a new
14:16
project and I haven't heard back and I'm scared she kept me as an
14:21
account like as a regular account but like her big project
14:24
I haven't heard back from her but.
14:26
Have you reached out to her? I have not.
14:28
Maybe she's autistic and doesn't like to be the first person to
14:32
text. I could try just.
14:34
I've also opened an e-mail or a text, looked at it that's a good
14:38
point and said and filed it away Like I am busy, I can't
14:42
physically respond to this and then completely forgotten about
14:46
it. She is busy man.
14:47
She's got a three story mansion on 10 acres in the middle of
14:53
Sanford which is insane priced real estate but she's had it for
14:57
forever so it's old money. And then she bought a warehouse.
15:01
Like I'm not kidding, 5 minutes from that property.
15:04
A whole warehouse where there's like 5 businesses renting out
15:07
the spaces. It is amazing what she's done.
15:11
It is. It's crazy how like, not
15:15
professional. What's the word like,
15:17
successful? I'm looking at this like I am.
15:20
I am so far away from this. Like I need to be here.
15:25
I, I want everything she's got, man.
15:27
I'm not even envious. I'm just like, I, I want that.
15:29
Like for me, that's awesome. Is that not envious?
15:33
I mean, I'm not like I want to take it from you.
15:35
I want it for myself. I'm jealous.
15:37
Oh my God, I'm so jealous. No.
15:39
Jealous is like, I want to take that from you.
15:41
Envious. Envious is like I want that.
15:45
Envy is worse than jealousy, no? It's.
15:48
I thought it was the other way around.
15:49
Jealousy is not a sin. Green with envy, Green with
15:53
envy, It's. I thought it was the other way
15:55
around. Envy is a much more hatred
15:59
based. Jealousy is just I wish I was
16:02
that person or I wish I had that.
16:05
I'm going to look it up. Because in in, being envious is
16:10
a sin. As far as that goes, jealousy is
16:14
not really. Unbelievable person.
16:17
So far as no, no. It's it's exactly what I
16:21
thought. Jealousy is primarily about
16:25
fearing the loss of something you already possessed, while
16:27
envy is about desiring what somebody else has.
16:33
Yeah. So jealousy isn't?
16:36
That's that's it's envious as saying I want that from
16:41
somebody. Desiring what someone else has,
16:44
Yeah. Like jealousy.
16:47
Yeah. So envious.
16:49
Is. Worse than jealousy?
16:51
No, no, no. But jealousy is primarily
16:53
fearing something that you already possess and you you lost
16:58
like you lose it or loss it. Yeah, but that's not affecting
17:03
somebody else. That's why envy is worse than
17:05
jealousy. I feel you, but I was also in
17:08
the right. So no, and and not that I have a
17:16
one to one comparison to what you're feeling with this lady,
17:22
but I definitely have that. I want to be where this dude is.
17:30
Luckily, I have a good communicational relationship
17:34
with this guy. I already talked about some
17:38
projects that I would like to work with him on coming in the
17:43
future, especially around the downtown area cuz that's been an
17:48
up and coming place for the last 10 years.
17:51
Like, I mean, it's changed in the seven years that I've lived
17:54
down here, it's changed dramatically.
17:57
I mean hell, they estimated for their Porch Fest, they estimated
18:03
they had over 50,000 people in the downtown area for Porch Fest
18:07
this year. That more than doubled last
18:10
year's. I was gonna say that's probably
18:11
the most people that have ever been in downtown Sanford cuz
18:14
it's been around for what, 1860s?
18:18
8I I don't remember when Sanford was, I mean created, but I mean,
18:21
yeah, it's. So the St.
18:24
John's River was the cut through in Florida and it was the main
18:30
distribution. Yeah, and from the coast.
18:32
Fort Mellon was right, was right there on it's.
18:37
Got to be eighteens. Yeah, I remember Melonville was
18:41
there and then Sanford, Henry Sanford started it and then
18:44
basically took over Mellonville. Did you know that the town we
18:49
used to live in, in Astor, the guy was like super rich and he
18:52
made a town, Astor Avi, and he was one of the guys that died on
18:57
the Titanic. Really.
19:00
Swear to God. That's really.
19:01
The rich dude who is the. Town Vegemite.
19:04
No swear to God the dude who we used to like the town we used to
19:07
live in was named after him because they they started the
19:10
town. He died on the Titanic and then
19:13
I bought a boat and lived in his town.
19:15
That's that's crazy. That's crazy.
19:20
I'm like, you know what, I'm I'm going to change this.
19:24
Yeah, insane. And then?
19:25
We left because it's a shit place.
19:27
Terrible town. Don't go.
19:28
Down faster. But yeah, so like if you want to
19:31
pass through. For like 3 days Astro Florida's
19:33
awesome. Don't go for more than three
19:35
days. It's a terrible place.
19:38
But yeah, so this this dude, I, I definitely and I know he's
19:42
he's got all that the ceiling to work with.
19:46
You know, he's got so much headroom to grow.
19:48
He's going places. But it's I've had several
19:52
conversations. I had one Friday and that was
19:54
that meeting that you were talking about last episode
19:56
there, Amber. Yeah, I talked with him Friday
20:01
and we just kind of discussed some ideas for some projects
20:05
that. He's doing some stuff that he's
20:08
going to need some help with, some stuff that I thought that
20:12
corresponded with the project that he's currently, like, about
20:15
to launch. And yeah, it's just, it's one of
20:19
those things where it's like, I want to be in the position where
20:23
I, I am making money to where I can like pay employees.
20:28
I would love to to get to that point where I can justify having
20:32
employees. Speaking of employees, you want
20:36
to talk about hurdles in a business?
20:38
Yeah. Oh yeah.
20:39
The hardest thing I've I've done so far again, avoiding venomous
20:45
snakes. Terrible, horrible traffic
20:48
accidents on the daily, terrible clients, occasional dude, hiring
20:53
somebody was the hardest thing I've ever done.
20:55
And I still haven't been able to lock anybody in.
20:59
Like it just doesn't work anymore.
21:01
Like, you don't need to have a labor job.
21:05
Yeah, and I know you're different, but I'm saying like
21:07
for me and people are like, I'm not going to, I'm not going to
21:09
run a crew out in the Florida sun during the summer for 20
21:14
bucks an hour. Like it's like, dude, that's.
21:17
Shout out to the job that I used to work at.
21:19
Exactly but. They hated.
21:24
It. Incredibly difficult is trying
21:27
to find the right people. Oh my God, dude.
21:30
Yeah. Oh yeah.
21:31
And that's, that's the whole thing.
21:32
Like, I know I would love to be in a position where I can
21:38
justify having an employee. Yeah, but I don't know if I want
21:43
to make that step into actually having employees.
21:48
I mean, you never know cuz this might blow up and I can't
21:52
justify editing every single thing cuz if we, if we go and
21:59
blow up and get to a certain part, I'm not going to be able
22:03
to edit everything, right? Like just the amount of projects
22:07
I'm currently doing. I am, I'm maxed out currently
22:11
with everything going on, including my regular nine to
22:17
five. Yeah, you know, my, my day job,
22:21
the job that gives me money. I'm maxed out with everything,
22:24
including that. Once I'm able to take that away,
22:27
I'm going to have, you know, 8 hours a day.
22:29
Yeah, back. Yeah, but how?
22:35
8 hours a day. Yeah.
22:37
Working double s every week. Yeah, well, you know, it's.
22:40
Way more than 8 hours a day. Well, it's also getting ready.
22:44
It's drive time, it's break time, it's all that.
22:46
It's it's more like 10 a day. Yeah, but it is what it is.
22:53
So it's it's, it's just the, the, the thing like I, I see, I
22:59
see where he's at and I, I can't wait to get to that point where
23:03
I'm at, where he's he's at now. I'm excited.
23:07
I see that future and and I'm excited to work with this guy
23:12
because I've already done a little bit around him and I like
23:17
the ideas he has. We have a very similar kind of
23:23
not idea, but like I guess more mindset.
23:30
We have a very similar mindset. They're both giga chads.
23:34
Yeah, pretty much. No, He, it's, it's, it's very
23:39
much we, we align with kind of creatively, right.
23:44
We align very, if not identically, we align parallel
23:50
to each other. So it sounds like the route he
23:56
wants to take is going to line up properly with the route that
24:00
I had an idea for. And so it's just going to run
24:03
parallel to each other and work as a, as a combination, you
24:07
know, so, and I don't want to throw anything that he's working
24:13
on 'cause we were doing meetings behind closed doors and that
24:17
stuff doesn't need to be shared until it's ready to be out in
24:19
the open. But it, it was something, I was
24:22
like, hey, listen, I was thinking about this, I've got,
24:25
you know, this reference, this reference, this reference
24:27
material. And this is, this is what I
24:31
would like to do for Sanford. And it corresponds with what
24:34
you're doing, right? And and he sat there and he
24:38
goes. Yeah, like what is his position?
24:41
Like what does he do? He does video photography
24:45
exactly like what I'm doing. But he's coordinating like.
24:48
He's doing a bunch of different stuff.
24:50
OK, and if I multiple, if I got more into more detailed, I would
24:58
give too much away. I feel, I feel, which is why I'm
25:00
I'm trying to be, I got you as general as possible.
25:04
But yeah, he's got a ton of different hats.
25:05
I mean this dude tried to run for mayor at one point.
25:08
OK. So yeah, that's.
25:10
That's. That's what I needed.
25:11
Yeah, he's he's done it. He's he's got a lot.
25:14
He doesn't want to do that. He doesn't want to be in the
25:16
public anymore. He wants to be the dude that
25:19
just kind of like behind the scenes, make sure things are
25:23
running. If politics was in a different
25:26
climate it would be fine, but it just slows you down now.
25:30
Oh yeah, 100. Percent, you can't do anything.
25:32
Even even the correct initiative has an opposition and I'm not
25:37
looking for opposition and and constituents.
25:42
I'm looking to do something. I'm looking to build something.
25:44
I want an empire like. Absolutely.
25:47
And that's, that's very similar to what he's he's working on
25:51
right now. So like he's got several
25:55
different projects in the works, several different businesses he
26:02
and the way that he's talked and the some of the stuff that he's
26:07
shared with me. And I'm sure he's got even more
26:10
behind the scenes that he hasn't shared with me.
26:13
But what he has, I'm, I'm stoked to, you know, be able to provide
26:19
a little bit of help, maybe, you know, buy into the program like
26:26
the ideas that he has. The MLM.
26:30
Yeah, buy into it so I can sell some shady ass energy drinks.
26:36
Boom boom, right? Oh yeah.
26:39
I It's also about who you surround yourself with and to
26:46
that, would you have LLCD your photography without me
26:50
constantly nagging you? Yes.
26:52
OK. I was going to say, I hope I at
26:55
least pushed you you you a little bit quicker.
26:57
You pushed me quicker, yes, 100%.
26:59
That was my plan all along. But it was because.
27:04
Clearly I'm into doing it quickly for no good reason.
27:08
It was, it was, it was time, though.
27:11
It wasn't, you know, it wasn't because I, I wanted to get this,
27:15
you know, I had a plan. You know, it was, it was time.
27:19
I'll tell. You what?
27:20
There's never a bad time to start an LLC.
27:22
No, even if you don't do anything with it.
27:24
Yeah, there's never a bad time to get actually like,
27:28
incorporated, dude. Oh my God, there's so many
27:30
benefits. The and, and the big thing that
27:35
I, I think the main thing that was keeping me from actually
27:39
doing it one was was funds. Cause I got my hands in so much
27:43
right now that it seems like the moment I get a paycheck, it's
27:47
going away, you know, like. Hopefully we help with that a
27:50
little bit. Oh yeah, at least.
27:52
A little bit. Yeah, 180, yeah, absolutely.
27:55
Like I've already gotten more done in the short time that you
27:58
guys have been here with this house that needed to get done,
28:04
then the six months before you guys were here.
28:07
I need to update our boards. Yeah, they're still on February.
28:13
Going into April. We're getting done though.
28:15
I wrote 4 tasks for March and that was like 2 days ago when I
28:21
wrote them. And immediately the same day I
28:23
got all four done. And it was, I mean, it was
28:25
important stuff. It was military, it was
28:28
permitting, it was, it was all sorts of stuff.
28:31
It was insurance. It was rentals like it was.
28:35
It was insane and just just having it on the board, having
28:38
an actual. Task.
28:40
List that I can look at and refer back to instead of keeping
28:43
it all in my head. In multiple rooms in.
28:46
Multiple rooms. It's so much easier than trying
28:48
to juggle business, personal rentals, house like it.
28:53
It's just it's too much to have in one one box.
28:57
If anybody with ADHD has a problem with sticking to tasks,
29:04
definitely put up like what is it's.
29:07
It's not even poster board, it's like.
29:10
Just get a dry erase. It's a dry erase board or.
29:14
My thing was I did the dry erase board.
29:16
No, he couldn't do it and it didn't work.
29:17
He couldn't do a dry erase. It just didn't.
29:19
Stick. I don't know what it was.
29:20
It was just because it's a dry erase board.
29:22
I immediately wrote it off as like a business thing.
29:24
And it's like, yeah, I want to do that.
29:27
I want to. I want to play Minecraft
29:28
instead, literally at the time. Different people have different
29:32
ways of like how they want to do things.
29:34
But like, I guess it is like a poster board or like what what
29:40
kids like kind of present their thesis, not thesis, but whatever
29:45
their projects and literally just writing out, OK, this is
29:50
what I want to do for January. This is what I want to do for
29:52
February. And The thing is, like with the
29:55
dry erase board, you could immediately just like wipe it
29:57
off, whereas like what you use. It's not as permanent, it's.
30:02
You're saying the dry erase the? DRY errors.
30:05
Yeah, whereas like his, it's permanent.
30:07
Like you're writing with permanent marker.
30:09
You can't erase it. You can't even write on it with
30:11
a pencil without it like messing up.
30:14
And like with us, we're very into like, OK, well, you know,
30:21
we didn't, we didn't get all of January done.
30:26
But you see like when you cross it out like.
30:29
Yeah, that, that. That cross out.
30:31
I don't know the feel, I don't know the word, but the feeling
30:34
of crossing off a task. Rather than erasing it, because
30:37
erasing it is just like, OK, it's gone.
30:40
But like seeing that it's gone, yeah, it's, I feel like it has
30:45
something to do with like ADHD. But people could probably
30:47
comment on like what they're gonna be.
30:50
But then the other factor, like with you and I specifically is
30:54
like, we're not, we're trying not to like dwell on things.
30:59
So even if like some of the things like we had written down
31:03
for January, yeah, is still technically on there.
31:06
But it's like, OK, I will get to it.
31:09
But at least we got all of these things, yeah?
31:12
And that's the point. I'd like to get it done in
31:14
January. If it doesn't get done in
31:16
January, it's not a big deal. Yeah, it's.
31:18
Still on the list? Yeah, and it's permanently on
31:23
that list until we mark it off. But seeing that for me, I guess
31:28
maybe not for you guys, but like for me seeing that like, well,
31:31
no, we did this, this, this, this and this in January.
31:35
Yeah, we may have like 3 or four other things, but like we got 5
31:39
or 6 of them done. It definitely helps.
31:41
Like we'll move on to the next month.
31:44
And then like the other thing too, like with that specifically
31:48
is like we had a January with a February in January and we
31:54
crossed off stuff in January. We crossed off stuff in February
31:57
too. And we were like, OK, we
32:01
accomplished things. And then we got into the month
32:04
of March and we started crossing off stuff from that was in
32:09
January or stuff that was in February.
32:12
And it's like we're not not doing things, but seeing that we
32:15
got this accomplished, we got this accomplished, It's very
32:18
helpful. So if you have ADHD or anything
32:20
like that maybe use post board. It helps a lot actually, on a
32:25
wall. Yeah, we literally just use
32:27
tacks in a poster board. Like it helps a lot more than
32:29
the dry erase. Also crossing it off and leaving
32:32
it on the board. Yeah, 100%.
32:35
Way more than just erasing it. And now it's gone forever.
32:38
Like it. You can look back and go no, no,
32:40
no, I did that. I did that.
32:41
I got it done like we did. We did a ton of stuff.
32:46
And when you erase it, for me it's the object pertinence.
32:50
I can't see it. I didn't do it.
32:52
So it it just disappears from my whole.
32:53
Brain like or like, it doesn't matter.
32:56
But no, looking back and actually seeing, OK, we did
32:59
cross that off like we killed that.
33:01
We did that. We fucking.
33:02
Did it? Yeah.
33:03
Just do it. Just do it.
33:06
But no it it helped a. Lot yeah.
33:08
And I feel like we've like seeing that.
33:11
I feel like we've been more productive this year.
33:14
Like even though like me personally, I haven't shit like
33:20
I'm I'm I'm broken, I'm broken. But like I feel like I should
33:27
have done that in the apartment in Boca.
33:30
Like seeing like, OK, this is what I did.
33:34
This is what I did this. That's probably why I'm not a
33:36
huge fan of that one app, because when you do it, it goes
33:41
away. Yeah.
33:43
And then it's just there's nothing for you to look.
33:45
Back there, I mean, you do like, you do get like rewards and
33:50
stuff, but it's like. Yeah, when people tell me to
33:52
gamify my life, they're like, make it a reward system.
33:55
I'm like, I reward myself no matter what. 100%.
33:58
I don't. I don't.
33:59
I'm not a masochist anymore. I don't withhold treats because
34:03
I didn't do good. Yeah, like that doesn't work for
34:06
me. I I have no you're.
34:08
Alive, you did good today. Like you reward yourself.
34:11
I have no no reward center. It doesn't work like that for
34:16
me. I didn't kill myself and I
34:18
didn't kill anybody else. Yeah, exactly.
34:20
No, I I do like that comedy bit. I can't remember who did the,
34:23
the bit, but they literally said like, yes, they, they woke up
34:28
and got dressed. Like yes, you should reward the
34:32
millennials for doing that. They lived through everything so
34:37
far, everything that you've ever heard of that was breaking news
34:41
that was terrible. We've been alive for like, and
34:44
that's not to take away from any other generation, but the
34:47
millennials have the knowledge of the universe, literally the
34:52
universe, not the world, the universe in our palms at all
34:56
times. And we still wake up.
34:58
Yeah, but I can get it done. Like, I know for sure the world
35:02
will cease to exist at some point because we know through
35:06
the Internet in our hand that the sun will expand and kill us
35:10
all. And that's millions and billions
35:13
of years. I get that.
35:14
But it's still, we're human beings.
35:17
We're just, we're just really smart Cavemen.
35:19
And we learned. Oh my God, that's a terrible
35:22
fact to have in my brain. I'm going to have to go to work
35:25
now. Thanks, hated it.
35:27
Yeah, thanks. Hated it.
35:29
Wish you hadn't told me that. Yeah, I, I read something the
35:33
other day. It was like being between the IQ
35:35
of 110 and 120 is the worst possible life because you're
35:39
just dumb enough not to be like that guy and you're just smart
35:44
enough to have to be clued in like.
35:47
How do you find your IQ test? On a government website I want
35:51
to. Say, because you can't do like
35:53
just like a like. No, I think it's.
35:54
Literally like I think it's like a.
35:55
Site or whatever. There's, there's a, there's a
35:59
bunch of different. There's a name for the like the
36:02
main one, like the Stratton test or something.
36:04
Yeah, I think it's like Columbia.
36:05
And there's, there's a few different ones that you can take
36:08
that do things a little bit differently that kind of give
36:15
you a general idea. And we've also figured out that
36:20
the IQ test really doesn't. Mean anything it it.
36:24
It means something, but at the same time it doesn't like test
36:27
properly everything that yeah, that goes into IQ and but it's
36:33
it's like a it's a jumping off point.
36:36
That's why I personally think I didn't do well in school,
36:39
because I don't do well. With.
36:42
With the the type of learning that they have to be quantified
36:49
on, I can't do the way that they have to teach you.
36:54
They literally have to. Like if they don't teach you
36:58
this way, they don't get their funding.
37:00
Yeah. So it's not that they don't want
37:03
to. They literally cannot.
37:04
And that's not their fault. It just it doesn't work for
37:07
everybody, including myself. I literally.
37:12
I was very concerned. It sounded like a woman, like
37:16
hollering in the background. I mean, it could be.
37:18
Very weird. The house over there I.
37:21
Don't know if you guys heard it, heard chance.
37:23
Anyway, I'm like. But yeah, it's, it's, it's the
37:27
same thing. Like, I, I don't want to blame
37:31
it entirely on me because I, I did slack off in school too, but
37:36
I, I sat in class many a time and was bored out of my mind to
37:43
the point where I was daydreaming.
37:45
Yeah, I mean, I, I, and I'm not blaming it entirely on that
37:49
because I did slack off. I 100% slacked off 100%.
37:56
I'm not denying. That, yeah.
37:57
It reminds me of that Archer bit.
37:59
Have you seen that one? I'm not entirely sure the.
38:01
The robot that Krieger made is choking Carol.
38:05
Oh yeah. She was like something about
38:08
slacking off and Kriger and zipped his pants.
38:11
She's like now now, now slacking off anyway.
38:15
But. I.
38:17
Like I feel like I didn't I I feel like I didn't slack off and
38:24
there were multiple classes where I was like this is
38:30
bullshit. Like in high school specifically
38:35
and college too, like I took shut up.
38:42
I took a precalculus class and if anybody fucking knows me like
38:49
I take all of the notes and then like in the notes if the teacher
38:56
said something I would put it on the side and.
39:01
It's honestly psychotic. It is, but it.
39:03
I've watched her do it. She fills up a spiral notebook
39:05
on one one day. Yeah, it's insane.
39:09
It's. I've.
39:10
Never seen somebody do it. And and that he, what he's
39:13
talking about is my the, the job that I'm like, Oh, no, no, in or
39:19
currently. Me watching you go through
39:21
college. Oh yeah, that's yeah.
39:23
No, I literally watched you fill up.
39:25
I thought you were saying. I thought you were saying like
39:28
our like our manager meetings. No, no.
39:31
Cause I've done that too. Like definitely.
39:33
We're literally in a meeting that like not to take away from
39:37
the company or whatever, but it it doesn't mean shit.
39:41
But I took notes to kind of like go back and, and tell my, the
39:48
people that were under me like, hey, you know, this is what we
39:52
this is what I was told. And I feel like it might benefit
39:55
you, but no in high school like I I also color coordinate notes
40:01
too like. It's insane I can't.
40:04
Insane can't do that. Like the tism is tizzing like
40:07
it's insane. And like whenever I did homework
40:13
like I would do like like the title and then like a for like
40:18
the main section and then like B in like a different color.
40:21
And then if it's like a specific like vocabulary word that had a
40:27
definition with it, I would have it in a different color and I
40:29
would highlight like it was insane.
40:32
But I took a precal class and. Fucking Rain Man.
40:37
I like, I tried to do everything possible to fucking understand
40:42
this guy and he goes, so do you guys get it?
40:46
And I had all the notes and I looked at it and I'm like, no.
40:49
And I would go and raise my hand and he was like, good, So this
40:52
is how we go to this. I'm like, so I'm trying to take
40:54
more notes. And then from the notes, we
40:58
would do the homework and I'm like, I think I got this.
41:00
And like, I would kind of go like at like AC on the homework.
41:07
And then he was like, no, that's wrong.
41:09
I'm like, OK. And then I'd like have an F in
41:13
the class and I'm like. That's exactly what happened to
41:15
me in high school. I'm like, this doesn't, this
41:18
doesn't make sense. Like, what the hell are you
41:21
talking about? And everybody's like, oh, no,
41:23
yeah, I understand him. And I'm like.
41:26
That's exactly what. Happened to me.
41:27
What do you mean you understand him?
41:29
Because he is talking like like French Mandarin.
41:34
Like, I know that's not like a like, I know that's not a real
41:37
thing, but like, maybe I don't know.
41:39
But it's hot. We.
41:41
It's it was just one of those things.
41:45
And then I also noticed that you are 100% a millennial.
41:48
Yeah, 100 percent, 100%. Full time.
41:54
Every other word was like oh. My God, I said.
41:58
I'm glad. You.
41:59
Wasn't. I just, I had to.
42:01
No. You're glad you mentioned it?
42:04
Oh. No, go back and listen to that
42:06
whole spiel. It was like.
42:09
Because I wasn't thinking about it.
42:11
And The thing is. In like blue and I like did
42:16
this. In my podcast, everything is new
42:19
and you also put the camera there and I was staring directly
42:22
into the camera and thinking, oh fuck.
42:24
Into the void. It was bad, but.
42:27
I've helped with the UMM. 100% like.
42:31
The UMM used to be. Insane.
42:33
But that's what I'm saying. It's you're 100% a millennial
42:36
because 100% like is a filler word for millennials.
42:40
That's OK. What's that filler word now?
42:43
Bro. Brah, brah.
42:45
Riz no. I used to interview people and I
42:51
even being the whoever I am, I took notes on what I needed to
42:57
say because I can't do phone interviews off the fucking whim.
43:02
And I can't do normal interviews off the fucking whim because if
43:07
I did that, we would talk about random shit.
43:11
So I had a piece of paper in front of me and I would still
43:15
get hung up. And I'm one of those people.
43:18
When I talk really fast I do say like and umm and all that shit.
43:22
Much like a script. Like that's what she needs.
43:25
No, I I need a script. That's literally why I asked you
43:30
earlier. What are we going to talk about
43:31
today? So I can prepare and overthink
43:35
and make sure that all of those fucking conversations are out of
43:38
the way. It's the Amy and me.
43:42
But then, then it's not the podcast.
43:43
Podcast. The podcast is supposed to be
43:45
just off the RIP. We can have ideas.
43:47
We can bring ideas. It's it's me being recorded.
43:51
It's me being video, not now, but it's me being videotaped.
43:54
And I'm like. Well.
43:57
That's. That's why the camera is there,
43:58
so that you can get used to it being there so it becomes AI.
44:01
Talk fast when I get really anxious and it's also not to
44:05
throw you under the bus, but you always tell me to wrap it up.
44:10
I used to. Yeah, you haven't done it in a
44:14
while. A long time.
44:15
But it's one of those things, I need to talk fast.
44:18
And if I don't think of what I'm trying to say, I'm still trying
44:21
to be in the moment so nobody can talk over me.
44:23
And I I just now realized that that's a problem.
44:27
It's not a problem not. You I just noticed I say not a
44:30
problem. I say like so people won't talk
44:34
over me because of like. Well, it's also a filler word.
44:38
But I don't see it as a filler word.
44:39
It's just one of those things. That the way you're using it is
44:43
100%. Because I'm trying to fill yeah,
44:45
filler word yeah, trying to fill the void you're.
44:47
Filling the void, allowing yourself time to think while not
44:52
giving up your thought So. Never been able to fill the
44:56
void. You always fill the void.
45:01
That's right. Thanks, hated it.
45:05
Anyways, school sucks, I know. I I am a hands on learner, so
45:13
99% of school is lectures and that bores the crap out of me
45:24
when it comes to like music. I was totally in because guess
45:28
what? You're doing it.
45:30
Yeah. He's also a music major.
45:33
I did major in music. Like a theater major.
45:36
I was the lead in Little Shop of Horrors, my senior.
45:40
Giant nerd. He's just jealous.
45:44
Yeah, I know. And they?
45:46
Sing. He didn't major in shit.
45:51
How do you mean it? You didn't major in anything.
45:55
Yeah, that was my high school thing.
45:56
That was my my. What is it called the.
45:59
I love you. To get a special class for it.
46:02
Yeah, but you never your. Focus.
46:04
I didn't finish high school. Hell no.
46:05
Finish it. So you never majored in
46:07
anything? Like not to be a dead no.
46:08
But that's that's what my course selection was geared towards.
46:12
That's what they were like when you get out.
46:13
You enjoyed it? You're gonna need these
46:15
prerequisites to do this, to do that, to do this.
46:18
No, I think 11th grade wasn't it.
46:21
When you left? Yeah, yeah.
46:23
Yeah, I was done junior. It was three days after I turned
46:26
18. 12 March 2011. Yeah.
46:30
No, no, no 2010. I've been trying to get out of
46:34
high school for years. And finally three days after I
46:37
turned 18, I came home in the truck that my dad had given me.
46:40
And don't get me wrong, it's a it's a giant beater, but it's
46:43
still like a vehicle. Like I had the privilege and I
46:46
still drove the truck he gave me back home.
46:49
And when I dropped out and he's like, are you out of your mind?
46:53
I was like, no, you did it, I can do it.
46:55
And he's like, that's not the point.
46:57
It was 11th grade. I'm messing that up.
47:00
Yeah. March 2011.
47:03
No but in school I I'd get 96 all day on in class work unless
47:09
it's a lecture and then I kid you not I have had my backpack
47:14
turned over and dumped out twice in my high school years from
47:20
teachers who just are flabbergasted by me.
47:24
I've upset teachers to the point of.
47:26
Who were those teachers? One of them was it.
47:30
Wasn't Nieves, was it? Yavis, Yeah.
47:33
It was 1. Definitely Yavis.
47:35
I can't remember the other one doesn't matter, but he.
47:38
I don't even remember what happened.
47:40
We had a good rapport and I was one of those kids that I don't
47:44
like. I I had no separation between
47:46
teacher and classmate. I everybody's getting it.
47:50
Like, if you want to have it, yeah, you can have it.
47:54
No, I. I think I.
47:56
I think I took a stapler and put it on top of the the roll down
48:01
projector screen and the whole class saw me.
48:05
And the whole time he was like where I could see it, he's
48:08
looking for the stapler, the whole class.
48:10
And I finally was like, hey, it's up there.
48:13
He was like, oh, OK, cool. And then he walked over to me,
48:16
grabbed my backpack, unzipped it and turned it upside down and
48:19
just dumped everything out. And I'm like, oh, you evil, evil
48:23
person. Like that's such an ego check.
48:27
So I've had. So was there anything in your
48:30
backpack? That time, yeah, there was
48:32
actually like. No, no, there was.
48:33
Notes there was. Pencils, everything.
48:34
But no, there was there was a couple times where they would go
48:37
to run my backpack and nothing came out because the pillow that
48:42
was the only thing in there was too big to come out without some
48:45
force. I had nothing but a pillow.
48:48
I literally have been to school more times than I can count with
48:52
not a single thing in that bag. I.
48:54
Think you went to F cat? I did with a pillow.
48:57
I did because like you. Showed you showed me and tie.
49:00
Yeah, the same thing as the rest of them.
49:01
If you want me to do it, I'll get a 96 all day long.
49:05
You always ask for pencils. Too so easy, but if you asked me
49:08
to do homework, it's not getting done.
49:11
Like I was the kid where every single class, every single class
49:15
without fail to do your homework.
49:17
No, no, I did not do my homework.
49:21
I do work here and when I leave here, I'm no longer here.
49:24
Like I'm not doing a single paper.
49:27
Like I'm you're not getting an after credit, nothing.
49:30
I'm not doing a thing. Like they they made, they got so
49:33
mad because I had D's across the board because I never once did a
49:37
homework assignment ever. Not once.
49:39
And they were like you. Why don't you apply yourself
49:42
like I do? I do.
49:44
I am phenomenal when I feel like it.
49:46
Well, I'm doing great in school, at home there's.
49:51
Not like 30% of my grade on the homework, stop giving me
49:54
homework. And they're like, we can't.
49:56
It's the curriculum. I'm like that is your problem.
49:58
Who makes the curriculum? There were so many teachers.
50:01
There was one of them. He literally was like, I don't
50:03
remember what it was. He got so mad.
50:05
Like he was one of those guys that took it way too seriously.
50:08
And, and now after it happened, him and I were perfectly fine,
50:13
mutual respect across the board. When it happened, we both could
50:19
have killed each other. I, I don't even know what
50:21
happened, but I know he said something to me and I just was
50:24
like, that's enough. And I just snapped on him.
50:27
And I, I, I don't remember exactly what it was.
50:29
It was, it was horrible shit. I was like, is this where you
50:33
saw yourself at your age? A divorced, like, like math
50:39
teacher in a high school in a place nobody gives a shit about.
50:42
And he just like, OK, you can leave.
50:44
I was like, you got it. He completely transferred me out
50:47
of the class, Absolutely had me transferred out.
50:49
Afterwards. He was like, I apologize.
50:52
And I was like, me too. Neither one of us should have
50:54
said none of that. Like it didn't have to go there.
50:56
We were both having really bad days.
50:58
Yeah, I was like, I apologize that it even it went anywhere
51:01
near that. And he was like, yeah, it's no
51:02
problem. Handshake in the hall every time
51:04
we saw each other. How's it going?
51:05
And that's the. Same teacher that throughout
51:08
your. He tipped my bag like many
51:10
times. No, I I was in mediation through
51:14
school. I was in.
51:17
Like remediate classes. No, like like they took you out
51:20
of class to talk about like anger management.
51:23
Oh shit I had that like twice. Drug management.
51:26
I didn't. Straight up they were like, we
51:27
know you're fucked up. I was like.
51:30
Well, it wasn't, it wasn't anger management or drugs, but it I
51:35
was in a group of people where they thought like our household,
51:41
like my household was toxic. Like oof, bad and.
51:49
It's a devastating blow to a parent.
51:50
Yeah. And I think it was like a week
51:54
or it was like a couple of days in each week or something like
51:58
that, but it added up to like a couple days and and then I just
52:02
didn't have to go to it anymore. And I was like, I, I don't
52:05
understand. Like I don't, I don't remember
52:07
ever participating in it. And that's probably why they
52:10
were like, yeah, she doesn't need to be in here.
52:12
Yeah, like, but I do remember that specifically in middle
52:16
school, and I don't remember middle school very well, but I
52:20
do remember multiple times people asking me like really
52:26
weird questions, like, has this happened to you?
52:29
Have you had this happen to you? What's going on in your home?
52:32
And I'm like, I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about?
52:37
And they were like, Are you sure?
52:39
And I'm like, I'm pretty sure I would tell you like I was.
52:44
To. Tell you.
52:45
Yeah. And I'm like, no, my God.
52:48
And then they're like, OK, well, we're gonna put you in the
52:50
stuff. And I'm like, OK.
52:53
And then in the class, I think they asked me, like the same
52:57
shit. And I'm like, no, no, what is
53:03
this? And then they were like, yeah,
53:04
you don't need to be at the same one.
53:05
Like, thanks. I didn't want to fucking be
53:07
here. Speaking of which.
53:09
Did you do that? So weird.
53:10
Oh my God. Yeah, Elementary.
53:14
I don't. I think so.
53:16
So I had. Minnesotans.
53:18
I had the certificate, I had the ribbon, I had the shirt.
53:21
I got I. Didn't get the shirt I got.
53:22
The full honors baby. I was a DARE kid and then
53:25
immediately started pushing Oz through high school.
53:29
I was the kid whose backpacks reeked of weed.
53:32
Did you have in our elementary school, did you have the officer
53:38
that came in? That was like super sexy.
53:41
How about super sexy? He was.
53:43
Jacked. Like 6 foot 4 like it was huge
53:47
buzz cut fucking like he had a big nose but he was hot as.
53:51
He was a big boy. No, not big, big.
53:53
No, I'm saying like he, he. Was stacked but he was like slim
53:57
as fuck. It was like, oh, if I heard his
53:59
name I would know it's. Insane, she remembers.
54:01
I would love. No like me and my mom to.
54:03
The point where I get described as that.
54:07
No. Super sexy.
54:09
I mean he had a big nose but super.
54:11
Sexy. I remember in first just grade.
54:13
Woody. Harrelson like being like.
54:16
Oh POV Woody. Harrelson, that's my boyfriend.
54:18
And I'm like, my mom saw him. She was like, who the fuck is
54:21
that? And I was like, I don't know.
54:22
But he's our dare person. And like Loki, I want to like,
54:27
have his kids. As a child.
54:30
As a child, yeah. That's why you had stop classes.
54:32
My first boyfriend and my first kiss was in kindergarten.
54:35
Same. And then I kept having
54:38
boyfriends. I didn't tell you.
54:40
I dated the teacher's daughter. You.
54:43
My first kiss was the teachers daughter.
54:45
I can't comment it she. Hated me.
54:49
I can't comment it. Loved the because she ever loved
54:52
the My first boyfriend and kiss was in kindergarten.
54:56
It's same, yeah, I dated the teacher's daughter and it's
55:00
like. Really did.
55:02
He said same, same. It's just same.
55:05
I have so many stories. Oh my God, I so many.
55:07
It's all coming back. So I was a an honored dare kid
55:12
and then I immediately. Got the T-shirt, motherfucker.
55:15
And then I immediately robbed the bank.
55:17
Did you have a bank in your school?
55:19
I oh, I thought you meant like a real bank.
55:21
I was like, you never told me this.
55:23
No the SO in school you would get manatee dollars.
55:28
Money. Because you did good.
55:30
You got an A, You had perfect attendance.
55:33
Gross. So no, it was actually really
55:35
fucking cute. You could go to like a store and
55:38
stuff or you could like you could use that manatee money to
55:41
like fuck off on homework. Like it was, it was a worldwide
55:46
of like what you could use the money for and it was, it was
55:50
amazing. So sorry to cut you off in 3rd
55:52
or 4th I don't remember. I honestly can't remember but I
55:55
do know that the opportunity to present itself.
55:58
Then I walked away with a clear trash bag full of so much.
56:03
I'm talking it was as big as me and I just walked off with this
56:06
money and I'm talking a trash bag worth.
56:08
They had a school meeting. The bank has been robbed.
56:12
We don't know how it happened. They just sat it behind the
56:15
counter and then nobody was sitting and it was a trash bag
56:17
of money. And I literally was like that's
56:19
mine and just took it with me and just started handing this
56:23
stuff out. I stacks to people.
56:26
In his pockets, his whole entire persona started.
56:30
For school, my backpack is full, dude.
56:32
I think we got not caught, but they they did like search my bag
56:37
weeks later and there's stacks in that bag and they're like,
56:41
OK, we know for sure 100% that that's you.
56:46
You did that. And I'm like, prove it, prove
56:50
it. And they're like we, we have no
56:52
hard evidence but you. Have 8 or 9 year old.
56:55
Bags like you can't, it can't not be you.
56:58
And I'm like everybody's got stacks.
56:59
I handed it out. Prove it.
57:02
Like anyway that was. So funny I handed it out.
57:05
Prove it I. Never told him I was like.
57:07
No, in my head. No, in my no, I was the kid who
57:12
I was like, I see that thing. Because I met you.
57:14
When I first met you, I was. Like, I want that thing and I'm
57:16
going to, I'm going to take it. Like it, it wasn't about poverty
57:20
and it wasn't about anything. It was just like, I'm going to
57:22
take that now. Like there was so many times
57:27
where I just just whip just just off the table.
57:31
That's mine. And it, it was nothing serious.
57:34
Always gave it back. Like if you ask for, yeah, I got
57:36
it. It's like I won't do it again.
57:39
Did it again you? Used to take my shit now that I
57:41
remembered in 8th grade. That was before we got together.
57:45
Yeah, that's when I fell in love, though.
57:47
You took my shit and I was like, oh bad boy.
57:51
I was the, I was the kid where I was the Judd Nelson for sure.
57:56
She had a shop class. I did not have her.
57:59
Shop class yes. I would show up in her shop
58:03
class and make personal things at school in her shop class.
58:08
I did not go to that. Class like and.
58:11
I would just build stuff. And and the other friends.
58:14
Because I like shop. Class so I would skip who gives
58:16
a shit and go to her shop class. It was the last class of the
58:20
day, so I think you came back from the beach is what you said.
58:23
I would also leave at lunch because again, the privilege of
58:27
having a beater in high school, they would, I would just leave
58:30
during lunch and then I would not come back.
58:33
We would just go to the beach. I'd have everybody loaded up.
58:36
I got in trouble a couple times. I would park in the parking lot
58:39
outside of school grounds because they they can't do
58:41
anything to me. I'm leaving, say something,
58:45
close the gate. I'm already outside.
58:47
So they would bring drug dogs in like probably every three
58:51
months. And if you parked on school
58:53
grounds, they're walking the dogs through the school and they
58:56
would bust kids. I'm off property and they.
59:00
You can't bust me for shit. Never bothered me.
59:02
I was like, I'll do what I want. There was a point where I think
59:05
it was like right at the end there where the drugs were
59:08
getting pretty heavy and I had two, two 9mm underneath my
59:13
driver's seat while I'm in class, we're talking about
59:18
Shakespeare and I'm like, I don't need to be here anymore.
59:21
I have succeeded like I'm I'm out like as soon as you're done
59:24
talking, I'm out like, but. There was a couple of times,
59:29
this one, this one Guy, Clark the shark.
59:33
Shout out to Shark the Clark. It was a dickhead, Clark, the
59:37
Shark. I think he was a wrestling coach
59:38
or something and. Something he was.
59:41
Just such a jerk off. Took his job way too seriously.
59:44
Way too serious he did. He did driver's side.
59:47
Oh my God, I had APA on my truck and he he would have binoculars
59:53
and binocular the the parking lot off school grounds.
59:57
Point of view. And he would take down the
59:59
license plates. Point of view, his class was
1:00:04
like not an outside class but like his class you could go
1:00:09
outside and it was like the main gate area like right next to the
1:00:15
the. 30 feet of the gate was his door.
1:00:18
Like where he would park next to the church was maybe what, like
1:00:22
a football? Yard my God, if it was a church.
1:00:25
It was a church I. Parked in the church, parked a
1:00:27
lot with drugs and guns like. Say all of that, but.
1:00:29
Yeah, I forgot. So that's why they never took
1:00:32
the dogs over there. Yeah.
1:00:34
So like where? Where?
1:00:37
You robbed God's chicken. No, I I robbed the manatee
1:00:41
there. Also was a churches in the gas
1:00:45
station right next to us too. I think that's from.
1:00:49
I think so. But that.
1:00:50
Was Cam, Yeah. Clark the shark would literally
1:00:53
like look at all of like the seniors who would like skip out
1:00:57
like on the first class and everything like that.
1:01:00
Like he was a menace. And The thing is, is like the
1:01:04
way that our like our classes when it was really stupid, like
1:01:09
your first class you would have 1375 on Monday 247 and six on
1:01:17
Tuesdays like Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.
1:01:20
So Monday and Thursday were the same Tuesday and Friday were the
1:01:23
same. Wednesday you would have one
1:01:25
through 6 and your Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday
1:01:31
classes, they would be like an hour and 45 minutes for like the
1:01:35
odd or even classes. And then your seventh period
1:01:40
would be like an hour maybe, and you'd have like lunch sometime
1:01:45
in between there. So you have to do like an hour
1:01:50
and 45 minutes for your first period just to say that you were
1:01:55
at school, so he had to sit through a class.
1:01:58
Undoable. Almost 2 hours, like each main
1:02:03
day and then like, fuck off and then come back like, what is it,
1:02:09
like 1:00? Yeah.
1:02:11
And then you'd be done at like 3.
1:02:14
We had a split schedule at school.
1:02:17
You never would have been able to handle that.
1:02:20
I couldn't handle any schedule. No, like, but that's like it's
1:02:27
the same thing every single day. We had an A&B schedule, so we
1:02:30
had a days and B. Days.
1:02:31
Oh, I heard of those. What is that?
1:02:34
Could not. Do that four classes a day.
1:02:36
I mean, so did we, except for Wednesdays.
1:02:41
So we did 4-4 scheduled classes for an A day.
1:02:45
Yeah, the next day was the other four classes.
1:02:48
Yeah. And they were two hours apiece,
1:02:53
basically. Yeah, that's what we that
1:02:55
literally what I just said. Monday and Tuesday weren't the
1:02:59
same classes. You had 7 periods.
1:03:04
Yeah. 7 periods in a day. No.
1:03:10
Because the way you described it was 7.
1:03:12
PM so Mondays. That's what I thought we had.
1:03:14
No. I was never there though, so.
1:03:16
No Mondays you would have 1375. OK.
1:03:27
And then Tuesdays it would be 2476.
1:03:34
OK. The schedule we had were is you.
1:03:37
Had technically you had seven classes, so 123-4567 your one
1:03:43
class. No, your one year 3 and your 5
1:03:50
would be Mondays and Thursdays with the 7th class in between.
1:03:55
Ours was entirely different. How did yours?
1:03:57
Dumbass schedule. It was literally A&B scheduled
1:04:00
so. I mean, technically it was.
1:04:02
It so it was some weeks were a weeks, some weeks were B.
1:04:07
Weeks. So it wasn't weeks, it was days,
1:04:09
OK. No, no no, it was A&B days, but
1:04:13
some weeks were A weeks, some weeks were B weeks, and a week
1:04:16
was Monday, Wednesday, Friday was A days, Tuesday, Thursday
1:04:20
was B days on B weeks, Monday, Wednesday, Friday was B days,
1:04:26
Tuesday, Thursday was B days. I feel like this train has hit a
1:04:29
car that would make more just a screeching halt.
1:04:33
That would make more sense. Yeah, so it was.
1:04:35
You had and there were. Classes 7.
1:04:37
Classes only on A days when you scheduled and classes that were
1:04:42
only on B days when they were scheduled and they alternated.
1:04:46
That makes it easier than what the fuck we had.
1:04:50
Yeah, ours is confusing as fuck. Like.
1:04:52
We also were on a grading scale. What was your grading scale?
1:04:55
A through F. No, like, yes, obviously that
1:05:00
was your grading sale. No shit, Ryan, what was the what
1:05:03
was the low 90 or what was the low A?
1:05:07
9090 Talking for the Public Schools, 90. 80. 95 was the low
1:05:12
a as. Simple as it could be. 95 was
1:05:14
the low A so. Ours didn't actually really make
1:05:19
a whole lot of sense. Damn Catholic schools.
1:05:22
It would be no, he smells really bad or somebody does.
1:05:37
Ours would be 190 is an A and then 89.
1:05:43
To 80 a hundred. To. 90.
1:05:46
And then 89 to 80 would be B and then 79 to 70 would be C and
1:05:52
then 69 to 60 would be D and then everything other like after
1:05:58
or below 59 would be an F. 69 was an F-75 to 70 was AD. 69's
1:06:06
definitely an F. 676 to 85 was AC and then 86 to 94 was it AB
1:06:19
Oh my God. And 95 to 100 was an A.
1:06:22
For the listener still awake, Meh.
1:06:25
I had one time I got picked up in a 2 door Mustang with a keg
1:06:30
that was seat belted in the back seat.
1:06:33
I talked to the kid who picked me up.
1:06:35
Was it M no M Lowe's? Oh, no, no, no, Josh.
1:06:44
So an old, yeah, an old maroon 2 door Mustang pulled into a
1:06:51
school with no checks or balances.
1:06:55
They parked outside my classroom.
1:06:57
I walked out. I did not wait for the bell.
1:07:00
I just walked out. Got in a 2 door car with two
1:07:03
grown men and a keg seat belted in the back seat.
1:07:08
I talked to him about it like 3 or 4 days ago and he like
1:07:12
reminisced and he goes what losers were we that we were
1:07:15
going to a high school to pick a kid up.
1:07:17
I was like yeah but y'all are like 3 years older.
1:07:19
Like it's not that bad. Y'all both dropped out.
1:07:23
Like we ran in the same crowd, we lived in the same
1:07:26
neighborhood. It's not that weird.
1:07:27
It's like. But he was just like what?
1:07:30
What Fucking losers. We were to go pick up a high
1:07:33
school kid like, but I, I've had, I've had so many good
1:07:40
stories of school. That's what I miss.
1:07:43
I miss the people. And I said that when I left.
1:07:45
I miss the people. I don't miss the place.
1:07:48
I used to work for a construction company like
1:07:52
Controls and we would do Orange County schools and I would have
1:07:57
to go back to these schools that I have been in before.
1:08:00
It felt no different. You open that double door,
1:08:04
you're like, I don't want to be here, dude.
1:08:05
I hate the smell of this place. I hate the sound that the heels
1:08:08
make when they walk around. I hate the paper shuffling.
1:08:11
I hate the tiles, I hate the lights.
1:08:13
I hate the smell of the water. Like everything in here, I hate
1:08:17
this place with a passion. Like absolutely was not.
1:08:21
For me, Oh yeah. I can feel it right now.
1:08:24
It's, it feels like prison. And that's what it was.
1:08:26
Dude, I I'm not kidding, I was arrested.
1:08:30
It's the same thing. Like your, your sense of
1:08:35
freedom's a a rough word, but like your sense of independence,
1:08:39
like I have no control whatsoever of my life.
1:08:43
And it, it is, it sucks dude. I can't stand that feeling.
1:08:48
Even going back for a job I hated to a place that I hate
1:08:51
more. I was like, this is not for me,
1:08:53
man. I hate it here.
1:08:55
Oh my God, Get Me Out. And I told him I was like,
1:08:57
don't, don't send me back to schools.
1:08:59
Like I hate it so much. Stick me on actual construction
1:09:02
sites with like concrete. Like I can't, I can't be inside
1:09:06
anymore. Well, what a way to wrap up this
1:09:11
episode. Is that it?
1:09:13
That's it. Wow, 110.
1:09:15
That's a quick one. Yeah, it it's something that
1:09:19

1:09:22
It works. We're having a good time.
1:09:23
I'm glad we started it, yeah. Wow look at that is a stupid
1:09:28
