19-Driving Pet Peeves: Cars, Road Rules, and Do You Really Have to Stop at Every Stop Sign? · Arguing Ever After

0:14
Hello and welcome to Arguing Ever After.
0:16
I am Luke and this is the one and only Amber.
0:19
Hello. Together we are the Lord and
0:21
Lady who lock horns. The count and Countess of
0:23
contention. The Duke and Duchess of
0:25
Disagreement. And the king and queen of
0:28
quarrels. We have been together since the
0:30
debut of the cute new Volkswagen Beetle, the epic Porsche Boxster
0:35
and the totally weird Isuzu Viha Cross.
0:40
Yeah, that's it. Keep going.
0:41
In this podcast, we were bigger about all things big and small,
0:44
and the audience gets the final say on who the winner is.
0:48
Many of our topics are frequently submitted by our
0:50
listeners, so if you have something you want us to battle
0:52
over, please share it with us at arguingeverafter@gmail.com.
0:56
We will use this completely unscientific method of letting
0:59
the masses decide who is right determine who the winner is.
1:03
Dun, Dun, Dun, and here we are. Yeah, here we are.
1:08
Episode 19. 19 it's. 19. Yeah. 19 in life to Nope, it's
1:14
18 in life to go. Dang it, I should have used that
1:17
last week. Opportunity lost.
1:19
You'll never be able to use it again.
1:21
Can we just backtrack to the intro for one second?
1:23
Because I want everyone to know how amazingly weird truly the
1:27
Isuzu VI Cross actually was. Okay, what is this vehicle?
1:31
Well, first of all, Isuzu had a real brief little foray into
1:35
passenger vehicles in the United States.
1:37
I don't know how long it lasted, but it like it wasn't very long.
1:40
I think it was like maybe it was like 80s to 90s.
1:43
What do they usually do? I think they do more like big
1:46
truck stuff like I feel like they do maybe they do semis and.
1:51
Like Peterbilt or something? Maybe not that big like the I
1:55
don't know. I don't actually know what they
1:56
do anymore but I actually I remember once in my car selling
2:02
career back in the 2000s we took it.
2:05
I took in on trade an Isuzu via cross and I can't remember if it
2:10
was either red or yellow. I remember it being very bright,
2:13
but this thing was like a 2 door like tough looking little 4x4
2:18
thing with a really weird front end and headlights and the
2:21
bottom half of it was like covered in a plastic clad rugged
2:26
looking like mud shield thing. And it was really tall like off
2:31
the ground. The ground clearance was high,
2:33
but it had like a bin like a like a basin you got into and it
2:38
was really hard to get into. You had to like, jump into the
2:41
car. That's how old Wranglers used to
2:44
be. OK, so it was like that except
2:45
way taller entry height. OK.
2:48
And it was like jumping into a cockpit of an airplane.
2:51
It was very small and tight because it was a it was smaller
2:54
than a Wrangler by like some measure.
2:57
That seemed to be the moment, right?
2:59
Like back then the two seater crossover type vehicle was kind
3:03
of big. Or the 90s, I mean the 90s was
3:07
the the debut of the crossover as a vehicle.
3:11
Prior to that there was like sedans were and coupe sedans and
3:14
coupe sports cars, trucks and well, trucks really were were
3:19
not like they were not more of a passenger vehicle.
3:21
They were more of a utility vehicle.
3:23
So like I think in the 90s maybe is when they introduced the four
3:26
door truck as well. It was when they went sort of
3:30
away from the minivan being the family vehicle to everybody
3:33
wanted to make something that was like a mix between an SUV,
3:39
which was a, you know, sport utility vehicle.
3:41
Everyone knows what those were. They've been around for a long,
3:44
long time. And then the crossover came into
3:48
the mix. I want to say it was a Lexus
3:49
that made the first one. I don't.
3:52
You know, what I find very interesting is back in the day,
3:55
there were very few trucks on the road.
3:58
And I don't know that I knew. I think I knew like one or two
4:02
people who owned a truck, right? Yeah.
4:04
You know, everybody had a sedan car, right?
4:07
And now there's very few sedan cars on the road.
4:10
Well, now most car companies in the US don't even really make
4:14
them. Yeah, it's bonkers.
4:17
Bonkers. And I, when I was younger, you
4:21
know, like it, it didn't even cross my mind to ever own a
4:24
truck. It was always a car.
4:27
I don't think it me either. I think yeah, cars were the
4:29
thing. Like I wanted a car when I
4:31
wanted my first car. Right, right.
4:33
I certainly and like the truck seemed not at all well and
4:37
trucks and I'm sure I'm wrong, but I all I could think about
4:41
with a truck was just a 2 door truck.
4:44
Like now they have the one with the row behind them.
4:49
They were definitely not conducive for doing what I
4:52
wanted to do as a teenager, which was drive everywhere,
4:55
maybe have friends in my car, maybe right.
4:58
Sometimes I didn't want to drive my friends, but you know, I
5:00
wanted the ability to have them. And in a truck you were very
5:03
limited. We packed so many people into so
5:05
many cars in the 90s. We did.
5:08
I mean, now they have different laws about all of that though.
5:11
Didn't. One of our friends get pulled
5:13
over. Were we in the car for having
5:16
too many people in the car? I I cannot speak to that, but I
5:21
am sure. You're pleading the. 5th No, I
5:23
don't recall that because the IT was.
5:25
Your Honor, I don't recall. It was just so common to throw a
5:28
bunch of kids in the car back then and I don't they don't do
5:32
that. I mean, I think drivers and I
5:35
know people are going to really necessarily not necessarily
5:38
agree with this, but I feel like youth today take driving much
5:40
more seriously than we did in our day.
5:43
I wonder if that's true. Well, I mean the laws also make
5:47
them. Well, right, Do that.
5:48
Well, at least in Minnesota. We don't know that that's the
5:50
case everywhere. True, true.
5:53
Like isn't the rule that you can't?
5:54
Have you said something like this?
5:56
Not more than one passenger. Under the age of 18, if you're
6:00
under the age of 18. Yeah, yeah.
6:04
I mean, that would have. Could you imagine?
6:06
That's crazy. So you're saying you couldn't
6:07
pack in like 4 of your friends in A5 passenger vehicle?
6:12
No. To go, just drive to drive.
6:15
Or drive to school even. I mean, think about that.
6:17
Drive to a event or a party or a it's.
6:21
Not allowed anymore. That's stupid.
6:24
Is it? Do you think people are getting
6:25
caught though? Like I wonder if this is still
6:27
happening? I don't know.
6:28
I mean, I'm sure if you get pulled over like you would,
6:32
that's when you would get in trouble.
6:33
But I don't think you're getting pulled over for that.
6:36
So we need if there's either parents of teens in that era
6:42
right now or teens listening in that I want to know like, what's
6:46
the situation like out there? Are we still doing this?
6:49
Are we just breaking the law? Are the kids packing it in?
6:51
Because I promise you, I would. I mean.
6:54
I'd be like, yeah, me and my 4 buddies are going to get in the
6:57
car and we're going to go. I don't know.
6:59
Anywhere. Fishing, snowboarding, fishing.
7:02
I'm just randomly calling out hobbies.
7:05
I don't, I, well, I think though, it's different because
7:09
when you were saying, you know, I think still everybody's gonna
7:13
break the law sometimes, but I think that we were clearly that
7:18
I'm sure the law did not allow for the piling in.
7:21
I feel like it's always been a rule in my driving life that you
7:25
couldn't have more passengers than seatbelts.
7:29
I mean, that's fair. I definitely broke that rule.
7:32
Yeah. Because I had a car that was
7:34
ready to hold so many people. Right.
7:36
Oh yeah, you did. And it did.
7:38
You did. You had a boat.
7:40
I mean, it was just. Beautiful double hand me down
7:43
1991 Mercury Grand Marquis. Still in the like the boxy body
7:49
style when you like the old cop cars.
7:53
Yeah, I mean, and that that glided.
7:55
Oh yeah. You know, and when it would hit
7:57
a bump, it was like going through the ocean it.
8:00
Was driving a boat. Yeah, it was very different than
8:02
a land. Got.
8:04
Yeah, yeah, but you fit a lot. I also remember.
8:07
I mean, I don't know, I think here's I'm going to say it.
8:10
And again, I don't think it's the most popular opinion, but I
8:12
feel like kids today are just more responsible than we were.
8:16
Maybe they have better self-control because.
8:19
Like what? OK, maybe it's our fault.
8:21
I feel like this is a generational blame situation.
8:25
Does it go along with the helicopter parenting?
8:28
I feel like it might. It might, but you know what?
8:30
I don't think that's wrong. I mean, I feel like I might have
8:34
done a few dumb things. I feel like you should be able
8:37
to just hop in the car with a bunch of your friends literally
8:39
just to go drive because driving is cool.
8:42
Wait, is driving still cool? Oh, I don't know.
8:45
You just said kids were taking it more seriously.
8:47
Now I'm worried that they don't like think like let's go for a
8:50
drive is an activity that would have merit.
8:53
I feel like there's, I don't know, I mean, like, so back in
8:57
our day, God, we're so old. Like, yeah, kids would just go
9:03
driving and you. Would like.
9:05
Go racing and things like that. I think that.
9:08
Racing the oldest, junkiest cars everyone has.
9:11
Right, right. On a big St. that we lived near.
9:15
Like that was what everybody, not everybody.
9:18
I didn't do that, but lots of kids would do that on the main
9:21
thorough way and you'd see kids just parked in parking lots up
9:25
and down. And I don't know if the police
9:26
necessarily liked that. Probably not.
9:29
I imagine people got caught. Right.
9:31
But also when we later moved to another area, that was another
9:34
thing kids were still doing. But I don't see that now
9:38
everyone that. Was a small town, there was less
9:40
to do. Right, there was less to do.
9:42
Every once in a while I'll. See like it was like drive down
9:45
the Main Street or go to Walmart.
9:48
Right, that was it. Those were your options.
9:50
Past 9:00, that's what you could do.
9:52
But like, now I just don't. I don't really think I see kids
9:56
driving like that anymore. I think you're right.
9:58
Yeah. Every once in a while you might
9:59
see some, and I don't know if they're kids or not, who are
10:02
like, racing on the highway. And I totally feel like I've
10:07
ridden in a car like that, that maybe that has happened.
10:12
And I might say that that might have been with you as a driver.
10:16
Quite likely that I was the culprit of many a crime.
10:19
I was a responsible driver, but but you were a little different.
10:24
I mean, if you're in the car, doesn't that make you an
10:26
accomplice or something? Oh, I don't think we want to go
10:30
down on that road, no. Way with other people and not
10:34
with me. No, well, I mean it is the
10:37
drivers. The driver drives.
10:40
The driver has control of of of how the vehicle is moving.
10:45
That's true. But I don't know, I just feel
10:47
like it's so different today and maybe it's just not the same
10:50
freedoms. I don't know.
10:53
I don't know, I. Mean.
10:54
That's really sad if it's true, because cars are awesome and
10:58
should be viewed as an awesome thing and they should be fun and
11:01
cool and people should like doing it.
11:04
Well, I would, I'd love some feedback on that from people who
11:08
our kid is not yet to driving age, from people who have
11:12
driving age children. Do you think your kids are just
11:14
overall more responsible for you?
11:16
And if you're of driving age, do you just feel like it's more of
11:20
a responsibility? And is it not cool anymore?
11:22
I really want to know that. Is it just a method of
11:24
transportation? Like, are we just driving
11:26
because we have to, like, get in the car and go to work or, you
11:29
know, go to A? Like, is it point A to point B
11:32
or is it an event? Yeah, Yeah, I'm troubled right
11:36
now. Well, I'm interested in.
11:38
Concern for the youth of America.
11:40
Well, I mean, it is, it is what it is.
11:43
I feel like they just don't, I don't know, I don't think kids
11:46
have the same amount of free time as we did growing up, even
11:49
though I was always working, I swear I had more free time than
11:55
kids do today. But you know, I don't know.
11:57
Maybe idle hands, they say. I mean, I hate to sound like the
12:01
old man in the room I am because here I am, but maybe smartphones
12:06
are a little bit to blame because maybe kids would rather
12:09
hang out and like, you know, check out what video gamers are
12:13
doing on YouTube or something and not go out for a drive
12:17
instead. Yeah, I don't know, maybe maybe.
12:21
I mean, I don't think. We had some jams back in the day
12:24
though and. Maybe that's it.
12:26
Maybe the music isn't as good. Maybe it's not as good for Rd.
12:29
tripping like for Yeah. Huh.
12:32
I wonder if that's part of it because the 90s was definitely
12:37
like. And the 2000s?
12:39
There was like a lot more, Well, maybe this isn't true.
12:43
I feel like there was a lot more like anthems.
12:46
Well, like just, you know, big hit bangers and there's not as
12:50
many of those today. Like there's more pop and less,
12:55
I mean, pop is always pop. But like the what was popular
12:59
then versus what is popular now? Like now it feels more like a
13:04
music factory than a, you know, expression.
13:07
The radio isn't listened to anymore.
13:09
It's different how people are consuming.
13:11
That's true music. So, you know, like that common
13:14
ground. I'm the old man in the room.
13:16
Yeah, Yeah. I mean, like the common ground
13:18
of everybody's going to be catching this same music, you
13:21
know, I mean, obviously there is ways of them doing that, you
13:25
know, with ratings and taking a look at what's going to be
13:27
popular to, you know, top charts and all of that.
13:30
But I mean, when we were kids, you were like, you're choosing
13:33
your station and that would be your genre, but you're at their
13:36
whim unless so unless you had like ACD player in your vehicle
13:43
or mixtapes because now it's. Possible.
13:45
Did the CD player come out in the 90s?
13:47
I bet it did because we had tapes.
13:49
I don't know if the CD player came out, but I remember well.
13:51
Your first car didn't have ACD player right?
13:53
No, no, I don't think mine did. No, mine was.
13:56
Wait, maybe mine did. Mine was a oh 1990 Ford Escort
14:01
or 91 I. Don't know.
14:03
I don't know, but I remember when the big deal, like the kids
14:07
who put money into their system would get that five CD disc
14:12
changer and they'd have to put it into their trunk.
14:15
They'd open it up and, and, and people had these huge books of
14:18
CDs. Yeah, I still have one of those
14:20
in a closet somewhere. But you owned music, though I
14:26
will say I don't know. And I think that made driving
14:29
more fun because. Weirdly you still can, but
14:31
there's nowhere to play it because cars don't have CD
14:33
players anymore. Does might not have ACD player.
14:37
Yours. Wait, I don't know.
14:39
I have a replaced radio. I mean, it came with one.
14:42
Yeah, mine didn't come with them.
14:43
My current car does not have ACD player Well, and most cars you
14:47
can't even get it. I don't even think it's an
14:48
option anymore. Well, it's like when you go to
14:51
the car shows, antique car shows.
14:55
Antique. What do you call them?
14:56
Antique Are we antiques? Collector car shows I'm not.
15:00
This. I don't want any of these terms
15:01
to classify me. No, no, no.
15:04
So like the old car shows. Fair that we would go to so like
15:07
cars from the 60s and. Right. 50s, seventies, stuff
15:11
like that. But like the radios were just,
15:13
you know, they were different. And I wonder, like when they're
15:15
pressing those buttons to listen to the radio, are they really
15:18
getting anything on that, you know, like the AMI mean?
15:21
I know AM still exists. Yeah, it does.
15:23
So does FM. But, I mean, they're both still
15:25
dying. It's dying out.
15:27
You know, that's true. You used to have a whole bunch
15:29
more options and you don't know. So maybe, OK, I'm gonna say the
15:34
musical change is maybe changing driving, because there's nothing
15:37
like that. Just driving, listening to
15:39
music. I agree.
15:41
I love doing that on my own terms.
15:44
You. Let me tag along though.
15:47
Sure, yeah. But I'm saying like when you're
15:50
driving to do something you don't want to do, like driving
15:52
to go to work or driving to. Some people like going to work,
15:58
Amber. I mean, I love my job.
16:01
For anyone who's listening, just don't.
16:03
Want to go drive to work and be stuck in traffic and deal with
16:07
all the dingbats Who are I? I don't know.
16:12
Am IA dingbat. Well, OK, when you are a
16:17
passenger in the car, you were saying that you're complicit by
16:19
being a passenger. I'm going to say being a
16:23
passenger in your car. I don't feel complicit because I
16:25
feel like I do tell you you're being a dingbat.
16:29
You know, I think for a while you were really much more
16:33
reserved and actually I kind of was annoyed with you because I'm
16:36
like, why are you driving so flipping slow?
16:39
I went through a phase. Yeah, you did.
16:41
You did. Am I not currently inside the
16:44
the phase you're talking about? I think when you got back to
16:46
driving a lot longer, so for a little while Luke only had like
16:50
a 5 minute commute to work. That was cool.
16:53
And so he was. That was real cool.
16:55
Wasn't speeding, but now you have a really long commute to
16:57
work and you've gotten back to enjoying speeding.
17:00
But I don't think that one led to the other.
17:03
I actually remember what led to the the change was right after a
17:08
child was born. You were like, I've got a kid in
17:12
the car. That makes sense.
17:13
And now I care. Don't be dangerous.
17:16
Where before that you were did not.
17:18
She was a cute little baby. She was a little baby, Yeah.
17:20
Very cute, yeah. But before that you were like
17:24
speed limit. Who's that for?
17:27
It's not for me. Stop signs.
17:29
Who's that for? That's also not for me.
17:32
Turn signals. You would use them, but you're
17:34
like. I'm a big fan, big fan of turn
17:36
signals. I think everyone ought to use
17:37
them more than they do. Right.
17:39
Because I want to know what you're doing.
17:41
I think that's a fair question. I find myself looking at
17:44
people's like where their head is going in cars because I drive
17:47
so much. I'm like always on the defensive
17:50
for is somebody about to change lanes into me and not tell me
17:54
they're coming with their blinker?
17:56
You know what was really interesting for a little while
17:59
and I, I hate thinking about this time because it was such a
18:01
hard time living but in the pandemic period in the
18:07
beginning. COVID times, that's what we're
18:09
calling it. How it was like so wild, Wild
18:12
West on the highway. Oh, for sure.
18:14
And I it was. Kind of awesome.
18:16
It was so weird. There were like 4 cars, you
18:18
know, like everybody's going 110 miles per.
18:21
Hour they were like, we're all out here, don't know if we're
18:23
going to die today or tomorrow, so we're just driving like we
18:26
don't care. They're like, we're essential, I
18:28
suppose, and. I was essential.
18:31
I was Mad Max out there. Yeah.
18:33
Me and the other 10 people that had to go to work.
18:35
Terrifying if you had to go on the roads at that.
18:38
Time. It was amazing.
18:39
There was no traffic. And no police were going to pull
18:41
you over because they're like, what?
18:42
I don't want to catch COVID. Listen, my hour long commute was
18:44
like 35 minutes. OK.
18:46
No, that's not actually OK. That's how long it took you.
18:49
But I don't think that was ever supposed to be the intended
18:52
drive time. Well, I mean, I probably maybe I
18:56
shaved off 5 minutes of the commute with the additional
19:03
speeding. I was gonna try to come up with
19:05
a cooler word, but I couldn't. Yeah, yeah.
19:09
Well, and I, I mean I, I might have a lead foot every once in a
19:14
while. Thankfully now our vehicles
19:18
don't allow us to have too LED of a foot.
19:21
Yeah, there's certain vehicles that you drive and it's it's too
19:24
easy to speed in them. I've had a couple of those.
19:27
Oh yeah, I had this one, one vehicle once, this little Audi,
19:32
and it was so easy to speed in that vehicle and.
19:35
Oh yeah. That was a fun car that we owned
19:37
for. Six months.
19:38
So fun. Yeah.
19:40
Terrible, terrible decision making it.
19:43
Was bad decision making if. You're ever on vacation in
19:46
California, people. Don't just buy a car.
19:48
Don't impulse buy a car, cancel your flight and drive home.
19:51
Yeah, but it was a cool car. It had that racing green
19:55
metallic. It was beautiful.
19:57
I thought it was more of a emerald green.
19:59
Well, I think it was. And it was like a convertible.
20:02
And I mean, it was a Audi. So for me, I was like, that's,
20:05
that's pretty boozy. Right there.
20:07
Fancy. Yeah, it was, it was a lot of
20:09
fun to just. I mean, I feel like I kind of
20:11
had that thought in my mind a little bit before we went out
20:14
there that I wanted a vehicle like that, otherwise we wouldn't
20:17
have driven. Sure.
20:18
To we were looking out here. Yeah, yeah.
20:20
But we didn't have the right one, and that wasn't the right
20:24
one in the long run either that. Definitely qualifies as
20:29
bourgeois it. Was an impulse pilot.
20:31
Yeah, it only like only lasted about six months.
20:35
That car wasn't made for Minnesota.
20:37
I don't think that was the problem.
20:38
I don't even remember why I got. Maybe I was like, I just can't
20:41
drive responsibly in this thing. You traumatized the car into
20:44
submission. That's what happened.
20:47
You told me about when you would go around cloverleafs.
20:52
Oh damn, so turned. On all the warning lights.
20:56
Yes. Because you were going too fast.
20:58
I think the car, No, I'm not saying I don't know that.
21:02
That is why. That sounds like a mechanical
21:04
error on the vehicles. I mean, if the car can't go
21:07
around a cloverleaf at 50 or 60, what's it even for, right?
21:10
My point is all the warning lights going off on a vehicle
21:14
going. On a Jeep, go around a
21:16
cloverleaf at like 20. Five.
21:18
Yeah, Yeah. And people behind you are like
21:21
honking their horn. They're so mad at you 'cause
21:24
you're taking so long and you're like, if you've ever driven on 2
21:27
tires, you would not be going fast.
21:29
I like seeing that bumper sticker on a Jeep that says I
21:32
bought a Jeep or something. Something like it's it's not
21:36
fast, it's a Jeep go around. Somewhere, right, Right.
21:39
It's a funny bumper. Well, it's like a brick, you
21:41
know, And we are Jeep people. We've I've had Jeeps.
21:45
I'm also a fast car people, but I don't I don't have the
21:49
finances to keep up with it or the restraint.
21:53
That's. Not go to jail in one.
21:56
Right. I feel like our speeding
21:57
tickets, I don't actually. I've never gotten a speeding
22:00
ticket. I've only had one or two.
22:03
I mean, we don't need to go into that too much, but I've never
22:06
had one. Now, have I been pulled over?
22:09
Sure. Would I deserve a speeding
22:12
ticket if I got 1 have? You ever gotten a ticket?
22:14
No. Oh my goodness.
22:16
No, because I'm a safe driver. Because girl power.
22:20
I don't think so. I don't think so.
22:22
I mean, I've been pulled over, right?
22:25
And I think the important thing is, as a life lesson is be
22:30
honest. And then if you're being honest,
22:34
maybe the right things will happen.
22:35
That has been my scenario when I've been pulled over.
22:39
You know, not me. I feel like you probably also
22:43
aren't always being honest. I'm not, I mean.
22:45
Oh, no, I don't think it's about honesty.
22:47
I just think the violations that I have been flagged for have
22:51
been past the Gray area of, you know, is this OK?
22:57
Does he know what he's doing? I think it's been more of a
23:00
clearly this is a problem and this young fella needs to be
23:04
corrected. Oh yeah, there's some good
23:07
stories that I don't think I'm allowed to, I mean.
23:08
My 20s were wild. They were wild.
23:12
They were wild. There's a reason why your
23:13
insurance as a 20 year old should have been higher.
23:17
I think it was more than my car payment for a while.
23:21
I wouldn't be, I'm sure of that actually.
23:24
Well, also I think you had a vehicle without a payment for a
23:27
little bit. I did.
23:28
Well, yeah, of course. Well, the Mercury, yeah.
23:30
Yeah, because it was a double hand me down.
23:32
Yeah. First, this is my granddaddy's
23:34
car, and he gave it to my mom. She gave it to me.
23:37
Yeah. It leaked out all the power
23:39
steering like every couple of days.
23:41
Later in its life, it had a really good long life actually.
23:45
I actually wish and you could fix that vehicle.
23:48
I fixed it a bunch of times. I don't like the way a lot of
23:52
vehicles are made nowadays where you can't really fix them.
23:56
That's true. They're very, very advanced.
23:59
Yeah, I don't like that. And I just feel like that's also
24:01
making them not last as long. Or maybe it's our attention
24:05
span, I don't know. But it seems like there's just
24:08
not that many old vehicles or maybe all vehicles.
24:12
I have a problem with this. I can answer most vehicle
24:15
questions, so I'm ready for you to say whatever.
24:17
Really want vehicles to look extremely different from each
24:21
other and I feel like I look at the road and it's just a bunch
24:25
of the sea of the same 100%, you know and I personally it's.
24:29
The Plague of SU VS. I'm going to ask all vehicle
24:33
manufacturers. Everyone pay attention.
24:35
Can you please make something shinier, differentiate yourself
24:41
and you know what? Even if it's ugly because
24:43
there's been some vehicles where I'm like oh that's trash, but at
24:46
least it's different. Like the Pontiac Aztec.
24:49
I don't. I don't, yeah, I mean.
24:51
Fiasu V hit cross. Or that one.
24:54
I really didn't like the avalanche.
24:56
Garbage can. Oh.
24:58
Yeah, politics aside, the dumpster's a dumpster.
25:02
You have to agree that The thing is shaped like an actual.
25:05
Dumpster it is. It's terribly ugly and I look at
25:08
it and every time like but also gigantic.
25:12
At least I have a reaction to it.
25:14
Also they call it a truck. I have never seen one towing
25:16
anything or carrying anything. I think of a truck in a very
25:20
specific manner, and this is probably from my 1900s
25:24
viewpoint. From the 1900s and.
25:27
I think it needs like I think truck and I think pickup pickup
25:31
truck. Like that's what it should be.
25:34
You can put stuff into the back. Put it in the back in the truck.
25:39
I can you do that with the dumpster vehicle?
25:41
I believe there's some method of putting stuff in the back, like
25:45
maybe it has a retractable thing, but again, I have never
25:49
seen a person who owns 1 using it as a truck.
25:52
Yeah, which doesn't surprise me because I don't think the people
25:55
buying $100,000 electric triangle are like, I need to tow
26:00
my boat to the lake. Or I have construction to do.
26:03
Yeah, I need my tools for construction.
26:07
It maybe it maybe it could, I don't know.
26:09
Yeah, I feel like it doesn't. But anyhow, the other, the other
26:12
thing, I'm gonna beg. Or manufacturers all the again,
26:17
pay attention manufacturers. Find another color besides
26:20
black, red, white and Gray. And silver and you went too far
26:26
with red. Cuz there's right, right?
26:28
OK, not red, not red like burgundy.
26:31
It's mostly just the mute colors.
26:34
I want more colors like I wanna see the rainbow on the road yes
26:39
I don't just. And it's fine if you drive a not
26:42
rainbow vehicle cuz good luck finding one.
26:45
One of the reasons why I enjoy the vehicles that I enjoy is
26:48
because I want. They make fun colors.
26:51
A fun color vehicle. It's really sports cars and
26:54
Jeeps. Yeah, that's the if you want a
26:56
fun color, that's where you're going.
26:58
Yeah. Or randomly some weird stuff
27:00
like Mitsubishi had a little car that they made in like purple.
27:05
I remember a little purple color.
27:07
There was like a little yellow car.
27:09
Some of the little really economical cars have wild
27:12
colors. I think maybe because, no
27:15
offense to the cars, they don't have a lot else going on for
27:17
them, so they throw on a wild color.
27:20
Please do. That, yeah.
27:21
Oh, the Chevy Spark, which has the industry has lovingly
27:26
nicknamed the Chevy Sparkle. I don't think they make it
27:29
anymore, but it came in like a hot little green color.
27:32
That's good. I like that.
27:33
I want, I just want to see some variety out there.
27:36
I mean, it's just, it's like we were talking about last week on
27:40
our last episode about plane travel, just being so much about
27:44
getting one place to the other that it's just travel now
27:48
There's the fun. Same thing with cars.
27:51
It's gone, yeah. And cars, it's, it's very
27:54
similar and you know, but the cost of vehicles nowadays and
27:59
again, I know I'm not going to go too far into that, but can we
28:03
just make sure we're doing a little bit more of that, you
28:06
know? I agree with you like.
28:07
More comfort, more style style. I've driven some stylish cars.
28:13
You have. Let's hear about them.
28:14
Oh well, and one maybe not so stylish, but awesome.
28:17
I did one of those vehicle experiences which you got me as
28:21
a gift. I did to drive a Ferrari.
28:24
Yeah, which I went to with a friend of mine and we had an
28:28
absolute blast on a closed track driving like maniacs in a
28:33
Ferrari. It was fantastic.
28:35
The cars were gorgeous. They sounded like heaven on
28:40
wheels and they drove like a bat out of hell.
28:43
Those things were. That's been probably my favorite
28:47
exotic car, maybe forever. It's for sure Ferrari's still my
28:53
favorite car maker of like sexy exotic sports car.
28:58
I've also driven a tank, which was another gift from you.
29:03
Thank you all my cool things. The airplane was cool.
29:06
The tank, that was a wild experience because we went down
29:11
to this place in southern Minnesota and they, it was like
29:14
a whole tank like thing. They had all the tanks and you
29:19
could pay whatever kind of money you wanted to do whatever with
29:22
the tank. We got the low level, like just
29:25
go drive it around in a circle, which was amazing.
29:28
Yeah, because they're insanely large and they're not easy to
29:32
drive. I wouldn't think so.
29:34
Like they're manuals and I don't, I think they maybe have
29:39
two gears. I don't exactly remember
29:41
everything was hand. Like there wasn't a foot clutch.
29:44
Like the everything was by hand. I don't think was there a foot
29:47
throttle? I don't even remember.
29:48
I just remember having my head out of a little hole to like
29:53
look up over the front of the tank and down below.
29:56
Inside the tank was where you were controlling the machine and
30:00
it had two tracks. And so like your right hand was
30:03
the right track and your left hand was the left track.
30:06
Interesting. Super fun and they both were
30:08
independent so you could reverse with one and forward with the
30:11
other. Turn around in a circle.
30:13
I was going to ask you what that would.
30:14
Mean much like a skid steer which is AKA a bobcat.
30:20
It was super fun and then we got to watch people drive tanks over
30:24
entire cars. Like they paid a bunch of money
30:26
to drive over a junker, which if I ever did it again 100% I want
30:30
to do that because it was awesome.
30:32
Like the cars would pop from the weight, like the glass would
30:36
explode out. It was awesome.
30:39
And you could pay to drive it through a semi trailer, like
30:43
like a semi trailer enclosed, but you'd drive the tank through
30:46
the middle of it like smash bang pow through.
30:50
The metal walls. Through the Yeah, right through
30:53
it. They also had retired mobile
30:56
homes as well. You could drive through right
30:59
through the middle do. You think they would go?
31:01
Though Oh, not very fast the the, the big one, the fast one I
31:04
think was an Abrams tank and I think they maybe they top out at
31:08
like 30 or something, but you know, maybe 4, I don't know.
31:11
Not very fast. They're huge things.
31:13
I think they weigh like 10 tons or something so you can't get
31:18
them to go real fast because diesel fuel only goes so far.
31:21
That well that would be what I would think you would need to
31:23
drive through a semi. Is that container because like
31:28
it it's you go through it and it semi pushes it and then it
31:32
catches on something and tips over and you just smash through
31:36
shrapnel everywhere. It was awesome.
31:38
I always The one thing you can't do is shoot live ammunition out
31:41
of a tank. It's federally illegal.
31:42
Well, that makes complete sense I.
31:44
Really wanted to shoot the giant cannon into something but you
31:48
can't so I couldn't. Well, would they let you like
31:50
put a pumpkin in there or something?
31:51
Nope. Nope, there's nothing and.
31:54
That's not ammunition. With specific to a tank.
31:57
Like if you throw some apples in there or something, or beach
32:00
ball. Nope, discharging live anything
32:04
out of a tank is not OK. Would it not work like if you
32:07
put a beach ball in there and just shoot it?
32:08
Out no that'd. Be so.
32:10
Fun. That would be fun.
32:11
That would be like saying can I put a grape into a gun and shoot
32:14
it? Of course you can't.
32:16
I have no idea. OK, well, it wouldn't do it.
32:19
That's not how the thing works. So what you're telling me is
32:22
cartoons are wrong? Yes, I'm so sad.
32:25
It's unfortunate, but it's true. Well, I mean, I think about
32:29
things that you can do in vehicles and you wanted to do a
32:31
Jeep, you know, or a tank to drive around in that.
32:35
What I always wanted to do was jump a vehicle off something.
32:38
Oh, like Dukes of Hazzard style. Yes, and I was so sad recently
32:42
when you told me that the General Lee didn't make it
32:46
through that. Oh no, it was they went through.
32:49
I can't remember the statistic anymore but it was insane.
32:51
Like they went through in the filming of the entirety of the
32:54
show somewhat. It was like hundreds and
32:57
hundreds of those cars, Dodge Chargers, Challengers.
33:02
I feel like, oh, you Charger 2 door Dodge, Dodge Charger.
33:07
I'd bet on it. And if I'm wrong, somebody's
33:09
probably going to correct me. Well, I don't know, it was just
33:12
really disappointed when it. Were a fun color.
33:15
Yeah, orange, bright orange. Yeah, I know it's one.
33:17
It's one of the vehicle colors. I'll accept.
33:19
I mean, I all accept I think I would get my car wrapped if I
33:25
had one of the boring colors. If I could afford, obviously,
33:28
you know, like. That's so expensive.
33:30
Right. Obviously I understand that
33:31
there's some privilege in me saying that I want to have the
33:34
color that I want to have and and that.
33:36
You get to be picky, partly because I'm in the car business.
33:39
Right. And I mean, I would rather get
33:42
an older vehicle in the color that I want than a new vehicle
33:45
in a color I don't want as well. So because even though, you
33:50
know, it is just a vehicle, I wanna I want to like what I'm
33:54
looking at. I agree.
33:55
And I I love that frequently. Well, not that frequently, but
33:59
frequently enough, I hear people say I saw you on the road.
34:02
Yep, not because they know it's they see my vehicle and they're
34:05
like, that's Amber. Yep, I know it's hurt.
34:08
It's true, you know, and if ever, one day.
34:10
I feel like my current vehicle isn't noticeable enough.
34:13
I know it is not. It is not I, I was.
34:16
Actually, I like it. I like it, but it's not.
34:18
I was driving today. I missed my yellow one.
34:21
I was on the highway today and there was another we both Dr.
34:26
Jeeps. I have the sport Jeep here we go
34:29
and he has the other one. But I was driving down the
34:32
highway and there was clearly the the the larger Jeep coming
34:39
down down faster than I was going.
34:42
And I was like, huh, is that Luke?
34:44
Did he have to go to a different store today?
34:45
And it wasn't. Yeah.
34:47
And I was sure that if he saw a little green Jeep, he would know
34:53
exactly without, without thinking 2 seconds.
34:56
Oh, that's my wife. I for sure would have known it
34:58
was you. Yeah, yeah.
34:59
Well, even though, I mean, we both do drive a little
35:02
differently this, but this person, like the way they were
35:05
barreling down, I was like, this has got to be Luke.
35:07
Well, I don't know if that's fair.
35:10
I do tend to go fast. And it also felt a little
35:13
aggressive. I tend to be aggressive.
35:16
I try to be not like, not like mean person aggressive.
35:21
I wouldn't say you're mean, yeah.
35:22
But like, if the road is there for me to take it, I'm going to
35:27
do that. But I'm not like weaving in and
35:29
out of traffic because I'm stuck in traffic so much that I know
35:32
that it's pointless. Like I'll watch it happen.
35:34
There will be somebody like super aggressively weaving in
35:37
and out and, you know, making dangerous maneuvers and then you
35:41
get off on the same exit ramp and get stuck at the same stop
35:44
light and there you are at the same.
35:46
It's silly, you know. I mean, I don't feel like I'm a
35:49
Weaver, but there's certainly times where I'm like, I don't
35:52
want to be around this, this dingbat on the road and so like,
35:55
I'll get around them. Are you talking about people
35:57
that are like going too slow in the fast lane?
35:59
Too slow in the like OK public service announcement and maybe
36:03
life hack number. What am I at 3?
36:06
I don't know. If you're driving 30 mph, do not
36:11
get on the highway. Don't do it.
36:13
You are a danger to yourself and the other folks around you.
36:16
Yeah, so. 30 is pretty low though.
36:19
OK, even 40 that's still too low.
36:22
If you're going 50 and you're on the highway, guess what you
36:24
should It's not enough, I mean. 50 is at least like, I'm not
36:27
expecting like if someone's going that slow on the highway
36:31
3040, which there are parts where I have certainly come upon
36:34
that and they're the only person there.
36:36
You don't expect that they're going that slow.
36:38
True. You know, and you're like, whoa
36:39
there, you know, is there something wrong with the vehicle
36:41
and they're just out there driving that slow.
36:44
Now I will say where we live, we do have some road conditions
36:47
that maybe there are times people legitimately drive
36:50
slower. But on a regular day, if you
36:52
look down and you're driving on the highway and you see you're
36:55
going 3540, it's time to get off the highway.
36:59
That's true. Thank you for life act #3.
37:02
Yeah, yeah. Don't be a danger to others.
37:05
Also, on the same same breath, maybe you don't go 100 down the
37:10
highway either. I've done that.
37:13
I wasn't going to tell on you. I just did.
37:17
Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna talk about.
37:20
You we don't wanna air all of my dirty secrets cuz there's some
37:22
dirty ones. I will say I was young.
37:24
For another episode and. I was I was less careful and I
37:29
have learned from my many mistakes.
37:32
There are some. I haven't had a ticket knock on
37:35
wood in 15 years ish. I mean it, but it's not.
37:45
You're right, it's kid. I would say it's not for the
37:50
sake of there are some things you're doing that are better.
37:56
OK. But Luke, let me ask you a
37:59
question. There it is.
38:02
I was waiting for you to say that.
38:04
And now the moment you've all been waiting for.
38:07
Ladies and gentlemen in this corner, claiming to weigh in at
38:10
135 lbs. We have Amber sporting the
38:14
finest hair this evening. It's just it's landing just
38:18
right and wearing her Gray on Gray on Gray.
38:22
Although part of it's covered up in a blanket, she is ready to
38:26
bring the heat to take me down in some sort of driving related
38:30
question. Of course, of course, in this
38:33
corner we have Luke. He is repping the vehicle of
38:36
choice today, Jeep at 185 plus pounds.
38:42
Again though we are, we are locked in a tie.
38:45
We're in a dead heat. We are nose to nose right now.
38:50
We are going to need the votes to come in, Yep, so that I can
38:56
win this. No, no, come out as the number
38:59
one. What is that called?
39:01
Number one best winner? No.
39:03
What is it called? Like just coming in first?
39:05
Is that all it is? Play.
39:06
Champion. Sure, in a race track thing.
39:09
What is that called? Champion winner, first place any
39:12
of. That yeah, so that I can be all
39:14
of that OK for our our podcast. You're already a champion.
39:19
So anyhow, Luke, now you've talked about, you know, being
39:23
dumb when you were younger. Is that what you said?
39:25
I did. I made some, made some poor
39:27
decisions. Now, I would say that I think
39:33
you have grown in some ways and even in some ways when you're
39:37
driving, OK, But I have to ask and the people need to know, OK,
39:47
are you required to stop at a stop sign?
39:53
Well, so here's the thing. OK, so that's a, it's a tricky
39:57
question. I mean, by law, the answer is
40:01
it's like on a technicality, stop means stop.
40:08
Yes, yes. And you're supposed to stop yes,
40:13
at a stop sign. There's no question about that.
40:15
And I stop at stop signs when, when there are other vehicles
40:22
involved, when, you know, when it's a four way stop and there's
40:28
some oncoming or opposing traffic, I will come to a
40:32
complete stop. If if there is not I will give
40:37
it a little coast and glide. OK, now friends, I I know that
40:43
first people who are not from Minnesota, OK.
40:47
Just interrupted my situation, go ahead.
40:51
You're right, I did. I'll wait.
40:53
You were gonna bring in some geographics into it.
40:56
I was going to. Anyway, I'll wait.
40:58
So the reason I think this is the case is because I like to
41:04
interpret the stop sign for its intent, which I would just like
41:10
to point out that the stop sign, the stop sign did not always
41:17
exist. It didn't right intersections,
41:22
you know, back in the day, it wasn't, you didn't have a stop
41:26
sign. You had to look around and see
41:29
what was happening and just if there was nobody there, you just
41:32
kept on going. And now, I mean, obviously
41:35
that's from an older time and less traffic and less fast
41:39
vehicles and probably there's some reasons they input the stop
41:44
sign. It was probably more dangerous
41:45
and there was probably more accidents and all that.
41:47
And I get it. But the spirit of the stop signs
41:50
law is for safety. And if I'm coming up to a four
41:55
way stop or a three-way, five way stop, whatever, pick a
41:57
number and I'm the only person there, I'm not stopping.
42:03
I'm not cuz I am. I will say this, while I'm
42:06
driving out on the road, I am very good at paying attention to
42:10
my surroundings and oncoming or opposing traffic because I'm
42:14
like hyper alert all the time because I drive all the time.
42:18
I drive 25,000 miles a year. So I have to see a lot of stop
42:22
signs and most of the time stop signs are in residential areas.
42:28
They're not in, you know like the higher traffic areas have
42:33
stopped lights. So for me, the stop sign is more
42:37
about safety. So I look around as I am
42:40
approaching the stop sign, I look for cars and people, etc.
42:45
And if there's a good reason to come to a full and complete
42:48
stop, I absolutely do. If there is nothing, I will slow
42:53
down to some speed I feel is appropriate for the moment.
42:56
Which I guess I don't want to claim a number right now, but
43:02
let's say 5 miles an hour, I feel like that's pretty slow.
43:06
Maybe sometimes I go a little faster, but I don't pay
43:09
attention to what my speed is. I just, I check around and if
43:12
there's nobody coming, I'm gliding through a little bit,
43:15
little slide and glide. What did they used to call it
43:20
slow, slow and go. There's different like terms
43:23
that people use for OK stop signs and, and I think that
43:27
that's fine. I would endorse other people to
43:30
do the same thing. I would now if there's other
43:34
cars around, you should stop. I might even I might even go so
43:39
far as to say if there's I might not come to a complete stop.
43:43
If there's one other car going the opposite direction and I'm
43:47
clearly first, I might slow down to like 2 miles an hour and go
43:52
through this is a whole. Other fight we have.
43:55
And if the, and if the other person is coming from the same
43:59
road and they're just going the opposite direction, no blinker
44:02
and they're going to pass you same.
44:05
I'm slowing down to an appropriate number that I feel
44:07
is correct and I'm going on and I think that's fine and I'll
44:13
knock on wood, thankfully not been pulled over for that.
44:19
I imagine that will continue because I am obeying the spirit
44:23
of the law, maybe not the letter of the law, and I rest my case.
44:30
OK. Most likely.
44:31
All right, so. You wanted to say so many
44:36
things. So, so many things.
44:38
That was your chance. It is my chance.
44:42
I I mean, thank you for the win. Thank you for the win.
44:46
Here we go. What if other people think it's
44:48
OK too? Now I'm I'm pretty sure that
44:51
like they just don't. This is one of many driving
44:57
episodes I'm sure we will have because we have different
45:03
beliefs and I would even say it's beliefs it's.
45:08
Different levels of adherence to the law, yes.
45:11
Yes, I would agree to that. I would agree to that.
45:15
And there's not even a question. So earlier I was saying now we
45:22
OK, so you were talking about a slow and go and and I I've heard
45:26
this term before, but I've never heard it used in a metropolitan
45:32
area. I've heard it used in like a
45:36
farming area where maybe maybe that's.
45:40
Where I got it? Where they really aren't
45:43
actually dealing with a lot of vehicles like they're.
45:46
They're on a tractor. Maybe, maybe, maybe they're on a
45:49
tractor, maybe they're on a buggy.
45:51
I don't know but. Buggy.
45:54
Yeah, we're talking about the Amish right now.
45:56
They're out there, OK? I don't know that they adhere to
45:58
stop signs. I have no idea.
46:00
And you know what? They're probably not gonna
46:02
complain about whatever I say right now, cuz they're probably
46:05
not listening. They're not.
46:07
That's true. Yeah.
46:08
But anyhow, I, I, I don't really think there's any question to
46:14
this. The answer is if it's a stop
46:16
sign, you should stop now. And the reason I know you
46:19
actually don't believe this is because if there was a cop who
46:23
wasn't driving but was parked on the road up the road, and you
46:28
were in their visual area, you wouldn't slow and go, you would
46:32
stop completely. That's likely.
46:35
Yes, because you know it is wrong.
46:39
Illegal. You still can't say it's wrong.
46:43
Oh. My.
46:45
Gosh, Oh my gosh. I would debate this in court and
46:48
lose. You yes, I, I would say that you
46:51
maybe have debated a few things in other places and lost when it
46:56
came to driving and what you think is right.
46:59
I mean, I've again, I won't, I won't do anything but in
47:02
preparing for this episode in like the 30 seconds of preparing
47:06
and I know we are past the bickering.
47:07
However, I'm going to try to maybe help the listener slash
47:12
viewers forget a little bit about what you're saying so that
47:15
maybe at the end, maybe they'll agree with you a little bit
47:17
more. So I'm giving you a little
47:20
reprieve here. But I was reading, I was like,
47:23
oh, what about some crazy stories about driving, right?
47:26
I know you hate when I come at this point at this point, but I
47:29
there's no winning. There's you cannot win this one.
47:32
So, but I thought if anyone wants to read about kind of a
47:36
fun or weird, I guess fun story, and if you don't remember it,
47:41
back in 2020, there was this five year old kid and I see this
47:49
could almost have been you at five years old.
47:53
He had seen a Lamborghini for sale in California and he was
48:02
like, I've got $3. He stole his parents vehicle to
48:08
drive at five years old to go buy a Lamborghini.
48:13
For $3. For $3.
48:15
Well, I wanna applaud the kid. Had good taste.
48:18
Yeah, wild assumption this was a boy.
48:21
Yes, yes, it was a boy. That checks out.
48:23
I wanted a Lamborghini when I was 5.
48:25
Yeah, yeah. But just when I read about, I
48:28
was just and the police obviously were like.
48:31
Why can you even like drive the car if how do you?
48:34
Well, they thought it was an impaired driver.
48:36
It's sort of a. Well, that checks out.
48:38
Yeah, I mean, it was, it was one of those I was like, what is
48:41
the, what is the youngest age anyone has stolen a vehicle
48:43
because I've actually. Was there a crash?
48:46
No, I no, they just pulled him over.
48:47
Oh my goodness. Also, wow.
48:51
And the other thing is, I mean, so he got grounded, OK, And he
48:57
had to do some extra chores. He's 5.
48:58
What are you gonna do to a 5I? Guess yeah.
49:01
But the thing I will say that I didn't necessarily think was the
49:05
right punishment or it wasn't in lieu of a good punishment, but I
49:09
also could see the other side of it.
49:11
There was someone who owned a Lamborghini and they're like,
49:14
kid, hop in, you're going for a. Rag Yeah.
49:17
So even though. And the best?
49:21
And his parents let him. Made the kids like.
49:23
Right, right. So the lesson was still steal
49:26
the family car. Hell yeah, you're gonna get the
49:28
ride in the I'd. Steal another car.
49:30
If that was my reward, I'd be like, I'm stealing auntie and
49:34
uncle's car now. Yeah, there's a lot of we're.
49:36
Going for a ride, I'm gonna go, but I'd pick a different car.
49:39
It'd be slick. I'd be like, I'm this time I'm
49:41
gonna steal a Ferrari. Yeah, just to.
49:44
See and be like, is someone on the Internet gonna let me take a
49:47
ride? In that Ferrari notice, yeah.
49:51
Can I steal a Austin Martin? Yeah, I love that you're naming
49:54
off good marks right now. Well, hey, I mean, I have been
49:56
around vehicles a little bit in my life.
50:00
You're welcome. I mean, OK, OK.
50:03
You are not the reason why of everything.
50:07
Earlier today, we had this discussion that that you know
50:10
you. Said Luke.
50:14
Everything else. And that motion he did for our
50:18
listeners was the hand being looped and everything else was
50:22
the world going around him with his fingers.
50:24
That was the center, the axis, yes.
50:27
Yes. But anyhow, so that was just
50:29
sort of an interesting little story and it's going to have me
50:32
more looking. I've heard some really fun
50:36
little stories about vehicle. I guess stealing of vehicles.
50:43
Most time, no, stealing a vehicle is not fun.
50:45
But you know, every once in a while there's a good story.
50:48
So you think it's OK to steal a car but not but you gotta stop
50:51
at the stop sign? I I OK a 5 year old stealing a
50:54
vehicle is not a malicious thing.
50:57
Nor is myself given a little little quick roll.
51:00
OK. The question is, how much better
51:02
do you know about stopping at a stop sign than the five year old
51:06
quite a bit stealing the vehicle.
51:07
That's point proven. Thank you for the win.
51:12
So that's the fight. I don't even think there's a.
51:15
Fight. You don't even have.
51:17
You're like, well, no, you just stop.
51:19
OK. Yeah, that's, that's fine.
51:20
I got plenty of reasons that it's, you know, obey the safety
51:23
of it, stop when it's necessary. Safety is stopping the vehicle
51:27
like someone has already determined that's what you
51:30
should do at that spot. And I mean, I can't even I like
51:34
we've argued about this, there are.
51:36
Plenty of laws that make no sense.
51:38
A stop sign. There's some like, isn't there
51:40
some law? Like, isn't there crazy laws?
51:42
There's like one in Alaska, like after midnight you can't feed a
51:45
moose a beer. There's some crazy.
51:47
I'm just saying. You think a stop sign I'm not as
51:51
absurd as not being able to feed a moose a beer after midnight in
51:56
Alaska? Which the mayor?
51:57
Really. Would like to ask if there's
51:58
some law like that. That's weird.
52:00
It's involves a time and an animal and alcohol.
52:03
I just want to ask whoever made the law, hey why is it OK to do
52:07
that during the day? I just want to know.
52:10
I've never felt the need to fight something so less for one
52:14
of our. Podcast.
52:15
That's fine. No, no. #19. #19 the least fight
52:19
from Amber you maybe ever will see.
52:20
Yeah, it's just the answers you. Have the answer is stop and I
52:24
disagree. I think the answer is give it a
52:26
give it a look and give it a roll or or give it a stop.
52:29
And that's so now you got it, I guess, people.
52:31
Yeah, you got it. It's not too contentious.
52:34
I mean I I'm not having to defend this cuz it there is no
52:38
defense. So how did they vote for this
52:43
one? Luke Well, the answer is you
52:45
vote on Spotify. Yeah, there is a poll.
52:49
It's very simple. If you're listening on one of
52:52
the other platforms. First, we would encourage you to
52:55
go check out Spotify because it's actually video.
52:58
Yeah, so you get to see our faces and our hand waving
53:01
gestures and our laughs and facial expressions and sometimes
53:04
our sweet gear and, you know, sometimes our chill gear.
53:07
Yeah, and sometimes costumes sometimes.
53:11
So that's fun. But also you can vote if you're
53:15
a platform listener on somewhere else.
53:16
You can vote on social media. Yeah, we're on almost all the
53:19
socials, and it's arguing ever after on all of them.
53:23
Yes, yeah. So.
53:24
Find us out. There we locked in that market.
53:27
Also on any of those podcast platforms, if you're a listener,
53:31
please give us a like. Yes.
53:34
Give us a share. Mm Hmm, that's the best.
53:36
Tell your friends we would like to get more funny arguments
53:42
about non Well, this is more essential topics about mostly
53:47
non essential topics right out there into the world just to
53:51
have a little fun, have a little argument and prove to you that
53:54
married people can still enjoy disagreeing with each other on
53:58
purpose. Yeah, yeah.
53:59
So follow us for sure. Yeah, that's it.
54:03
And you can shoot us that e-mail if you'd like.
54:06
I have nothing else except for a win on this one, so thanks for
54:10
voting. Yeah, thank you in advance for
54:12
my win. Good luck and if you want to
54:14
share this with police in your neighborhood.
54:16
Don't do that, and don't tell them where I live.
54:19
It's all good. We don't got to rat people out,
54:22
alright? Snitches get stitches, people.
54:26
Goodbye.
