- 0:04Speaker 1: And what if I lost both my hands tomorrow.
- 0:07Speaker 2: You could be a seat model star. I was sixteen
- 0:11Speaker 2: at the time or fifteen and uh, and then hook
- 0:14Speaker 2: it up with a witch and that was that. Cats
- 0:19Speaker 2: can smile apparently, whoa weird, but it doesn't always mean
- 0:24Speaker 2: that they're happy.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Lucy receives a call from what I can only assume
- 0:28Speaker 3: is the future winner of every acting award ever.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Yeah, Jimmy Man is a star. Her look looks weren't
- 0:35Speaker 2: part of the issue.
- 0:37Speaker 1: He's like, I had to sell my last top hat
- 0:39Speaker 1: for Janas.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Maybe this is not appropriate either, but let's see.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Hey, what's that notable nossalgia fans. I am so.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Excited for today's episode, not only the topic, but we
- 0:57Speaker 3: also have a very special guest.
- 0:59Speaker 1: We have the one, the only, the icon, Jeremy. Hello.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Yeah, you remember Jeremy from last week's episode unless this
- 1:08Speaker 2: one came out after or before anyways, So he is
- 1:11Speaker 2: my fiance, my lover, my best friend, and we are
- 1:14Speaker 2: excited to have him recording another episode with us. It's
- 1:18Speaker 2: about time.
- 1:19Speaker 3: And I really liked this episode because, like right now,
- 1:22Speaker 3: there's a lot of like people online like talking about
- 1:25Speaker 3: how the raptures coming, but that happens all the time.
- 1:28Speaker 3: I think it's a very topical, uh subject we're talking
- 1:32Speaker 3: about today, and especially because it's just the new year
- 1:36Speaker 3: just ended.
- 1:37Speaker 1: But today we decided we're gonna talk about why.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Two k What do you guys remember from that time?
- 1:43Speaker 1: I do remember the hype. I remember everybody freaking out.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Yeah and like like that all of the So I
- 1:50Speaker 2: get I think that origin of it was the computers
- 1:52Speaker 2: wouldn't recognized nineteen eighty nine switching to two thousand, So
- 1:56Speaker 2: apparently all of like the computers were gonna go down
- 1:59Speaker 2: and like planes were gonna follow the sky like that
- 2:02Speaker 2: kind of thing. Yeah, they didn't.
- 2:04Speaker 3: Well, the reason actually, so the very first time this
- 2:08Speaker 3: issue was brought up in any recorded history is actually
- 2:11Speaker 3: in nineteen fifty eight. Hey is by a guy named
- 2:13Speaker 3: Bob Benham, and he worked for IBM.
- 2:15Speaker 1: At the time.
- 2:16Speaker 3: Because computers at the time were still a pretty new,
- 2:20Speaker 3: you know thing, and then the fifties and basically it
- 2:23Speaker 3: was just like a kind of like a byproduct from
- 2:24Speaker 3: World War Two. That's the whole reason kind of computers
- 2:26Speaker 3: got so big. But he was like, hey, because memory
- 2:30Speaker 3: was so expensive in the fifties and computers are so
- 2:33Speaker 3: hard to make they decided instead of doing four digits
- 2:36Speaker 3: for the year, they were just going to do two digits.
- 2:39Speaker 3: So then in nineteen fifty eight, Bob was like, hey,
- 2:41Speaker 3: when it goes to the year two thousand, is it
- 2:44Speaker 3: just going to go back to zero zero?
- 2:46Speaker 1: That might be an issue.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Yeah, And then everybody's like, Ah, it's so far in
- 2:49Speaker 3: the future, don't worry about it. Technology is moving so fast,
- 2:53Speaker 3: we'll figure it out. Nobody figured out, and so like
- 2:56Speaker 3: kind of really close to the year two thousand.
- 3:00Speaker 2: So but there were still like speculation that it was
- 3:02Speaker 2: going to like end in catastrophe.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Yeah, and it took between three hundred and six hundred
- 3:08Speaker 1: billion dollars worldwide.
- 3:10Speaker 3: To actually fix the issue. But one of the biggest
- 3:12Speaker 3: issues was with the banking systems. They weren't sure because
- 3:17Speaker 3: like all the banking systems they do automatic like interest,
- 3:21Speaker 3: you know when you have a bank account. So they're like, well,
- 3:24Speaker 3: if it goes to zero zero, is that going to
- 3:27Speaker 3: give everybody millions of dollars because it like jacks up
- 3:30Speaker 3: the interest, or is it gonna take everybody's account down
- 3:33Speaker 3: to negative thousands.
- 3:34Speaker 1: You know, millions of dollars?
- 3:36Speaker 3: So that was kind of the biggest issue because that's
- 3:39Speaker 3: kind of what happened in nineteen twenty eight with the
- 3:43Speaker 3: the Great Depression, is everybody's money left, so they weren't
- 3:46Speaker 3: sure what was going to happen. But luckily it took
- 3:49Speaker 3: you know, a lot of really smart people took a
- 3:51Speaker 3: long time to like fix it.
- 3:53Speaker 2: But I'm so thankful that there's people out there that
- 3:56Speaker 2: like do that nerdy shit where they like thick things
- 4:00Speaker 2: that are potentially going to be problems. I appreciate them.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Yeah, no, same here. Yeah, why CHK was nuts? Did
- 4:08Speaker 1: you guys?
- 4:08Speaker 3: Do you guys remember being kids, like were you scared
- 4:10Speaker 3: about it or what your parents were talking about or.
- 4:13Speaker 4: Oh yeah, my my dad's really into computers and he
- 4:17Speaker 4: he had like a computer company where he would go
- 4:21Speaker 4: and repair people's computers at homes and stuff, and so
- 4:26Speaker 4: we were very familiar with you know, and I was
- 4:30Speaker 4: also in eighth grade, so I was, you know, but
- 4:34Speaker 4: I remember ringing in the New Year, like underneath the
- 4:37Speaker 4: table because oh really yeah, But I think that that's
- 4:39Speaker 4: because of my own like fears with you know, yeah,
- 4:46Speaker 4: you've got candles light waiting for the electricity to go out,
- 4:50Speaker 4: but this will save us yeah, but yeah I was.
- 4:54Speaker 4: And then you just sit there and you wait and
- 4:56Speaker 4: you wait, and then you're like, oh well I was
- 5:00Speaker 4: like twenty twelve too, like we went through that, yeah,
- 5:02Speaker 4: same thing thing. Yeah, yeah that.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Nothing, Yeah, nothing happened with that. But now the next one,
- 5:08Speaker 2: there's like a comment that's gonna hit earth in like
- 5:11Speaker 2: twenty thirty.
- 5:12Speaker 1: You guess what about you?
- 5:13Speaker 3: Though, I don't think it's gonna hit But so when
- 5:16Speaker 3: we were a kid, what do you remember about the year?
- 5:18Speaker 1: What did you do on y T kid? Oh my god?
- 5:20Speaker 2: Okay, So I was going through like a huge like
- 5:22Speaker 2: no doubt phase and at New Year's on whatever channel
- 5:26Speaker 2: was watching, it was no doubt with when you know
- 5:29Speaker 2: when Stefani before she was like a Nazi. I'm not,
- 5:33Speaker 2: she wasn't. She's not a Nazi now, but like she
- 5:35Speaker 2: does have a big oven. Okay, so she's saying it's
- 5:40Speaker 2: the end of the world as we know it at
- 5:42Speaker 2: New Year's. Oh yeah, that year of the ram song.
- 5:45Speaker 2: And I was just like such a slept for like
- 5:47Speaker 2: no doubt in that kind of jazz. And and also
- 5:50Speaker 2: when I was a kid, we would celebrate New Years
- 5:52Speaker 2: by like getting together as a family and then playing
- 5:55Speaker 2: thirty one, which is like a card game, and then
- 5:57Speaker 2: we would gamble, so we would Yeah, it was really fun.
- 6:00Speaker 1: So it was thirty one, like twenty one just at
- 6:02Speaker 1: thirty one.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think it was like two tens and
- 6:05Speaker 2: aces thirty one AnyWho, And so we played that. Then
- 6:10Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I have to watch I know,
- 6:12Speaker 2: no doubt's playing at midnight, you know that kind of thing.
- 6:14Speaker 2: But and then my grandpa had like a generator just
- 6:16Speaker 2: in case something happened, because I was going to save
- 6:18Speaker 2: us from like the apocalypse. But I wonder how many
- 6:20Speaker 2: people were like banking on the end of the world
- 6:23Speaker 2: happening and then they're like, oh, yeah, I should have
- 6:25Speaker 2: quit my job.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Well, that's so many issues with like the end of
- 6:29Speaker 3: the world scares, especially from like you know, pastors or
- 6:32Speaker 3: preachers or whatever. A lot of times they bank on
- 6:34Speaker 3: that and then like their church will just get thousands
- 6:36Speaker 3: and millions of dollars because people are thinking they can
- 6:38Speaker 3: buy the way into heaven or whatever.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Can you I don't know, maybe, but then they don't.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Then they don't give them money back when nothing happens,
- 6:45Speaker 3: and that's like a big issue with it.
- 6:47Speaker 1: But back to y two K.
- 6:49Speaker 3: I wasn't worried because my dad's always been super cynical.
- 6:52Speaker 3: My dad grew up Catholic, I was raised Catholic a
- 6:54Speaker 3: little bit, but I was atheist and second grade I
- 6:56Speaker 3: remembering seven years old not believing that stuff anyways, So
- 7:00Speaker 3: I we were talking to my grandma, my dad and me,
- 7:03Speaker 3: my dad and I whatever. We're talking to my grandma
- 7:06Speaker 3: and Dad's like, nothing's gonna happen to Y two K.
- 7:08Speaker 3: He's like, do you really think rich people are gonna
- 7:10Speaker 3: let the world end? And then my grandma goes, well,
- 7:13Speaker 3: sometimes it's not up to you know, us, Sometimes it's
- 7:15Speaker 3: up to the man upstairs. I mean, I goes, I
- 7:18Speaker 3: guarantee if Jesus came back down, you'd the rich people
- 7:21Speaker 3: there'd be two f eighteens chasing them right off.
- 7:24Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 7:24Speaker 3: So like I wasn't too worried about it. And so
- 7:27Speaker 3: and then another reason I wasn't worried about it is
- 7:29Speaker 3: because I can't remember the time, but there was like
- 7:31Speaker 3: a big FIFA event or the Olympics or something just
- 7:35Speaker 3: got signed on for like two thousand and two or
- 7:38Speaker 3: something like that, and I remember thinking in my head,
- 7:40Speaker 3: the little kid had I was like, well, if they're
- 7:42Speaker 3: making plans for after nineteen ninety nine, there's probably a
- 7:46Speaker 3: reason behind that. So I'm like not too worried about it.
- 7:49Speaker 3: So I actually personally wasn't too scared about y K.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that the whole time, not just
- 7:55Speaker 2: the scare of it all, potentially the scare, but also
- 7:58Speaker 2: that time it was like still the nineties, but we
- 8:01Speaker 2: like even like fashion was like more like a futuristic
- 8:05Speaker 2: something about going from the nineteen hundreds to the two thousands,
- 8:08Speaker 2: there was a futuristic kind of like element. So what
- 8:11Speaker 2: were your guys is like fashion like at the time.
- 8:14Speaker 3: I've always kind of had the same fashion my entire life,
- 8:18Speaker 3: just because I think it's the coolest. Is just jeans
- 8:20Speaker 3: and a like a black T shirt. Yeah, I just
- 8:22Speaker 3: think it's awesome. I was probably wearing a few more
- 8:25Speaker 3: band T shirts at the time, probably had some ACDC,
- 8:28Speaker 3: some cheap trick of course, maybe a Slipknot shirt. But
- 8:31Speaker 3: I was really into Slipknot until their second ced came out,
- 8:33Speaker 3: and the second seed was kind of whack, but the
- 8:35Speaker 3: first of it was good.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Okay, it just came into my head. Do you remember
- 8:37Speaker 2: that movie in the two thousands era with Rebecca remains Stamos.
- 8:42Speaker 2: When she was marri to John Stamos, it some ll
- 8:46Speaker 2: cool dram assuming, wasn't it. And it was like fum
- 8:50Speaker 2: oh roller roller and slip knots in it, slipknot Roller
- 8:55Speaker 2: something like that. They play like extreme roller skaters and
- 8:58Speaker 2: like the future and it's like, Rebecca, Yeah, it was that.
- 9:02Speaker 2: That that just reminded me, like that's like the epitome
- 9:06Speaker 2: of why two cave in movies? Was that movie, like
- 9:10Speaker 2: futuristic skating with like selipt knots singing the solid world
- 9:15Speaker 2: roller blade roller if.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I was if I was a roller blade yeah, I
- 9:19Speaker 1: don't know, but you're talking.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Remember Rebecca remains Stamos. She went from Uncle Jesse to
- 9:23Speaker 2: Jerry O'Connell.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Jerry O'Connell.
- 9:25Speaker 3: I thought it was really attractive later on though still
- 9:28Speaker 3: I don't know about now, but around that time I
- 9:29Speaker 3: thought he remember when he was in Kangaroo Jack.
- 9:33Speaker 1: I thought kangaro Jack was hilarious.
- 9:35Speaker 2: But Rebecca main SteamOS is so fucking hot, like for
- 9:38Speaker 2: like a white chick, and but going Jerry O'Connell, like
- 9:43Speaker 2: what's he and it's like so good.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Well, you can also say that about Uncle Jesse.
- 9:48Speaker 2: He was Uncle Jesse.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, but I'm just saying like later on it's
- 9:53Speaker 3: gonna be like, do you guys remember John Stamos he
- 9:57Speaker 3: played in that TV show?
- 9:59Speaker 1: Or do you remember Jerry O'Connell who was in stand
- 10:03Speaker 1: By Me.
- 10:03Speaker 2: As a child?
- 10:05Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 10:05Speaker 2: No, honestly I think Rebecca main Steam I should have
- 10:08Speaker 2: been with like Vin Diesel. Yeah, like that makes more
- 10:11Speaker 2: sense to me.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Do you ever see that Van Diesel movie Find Me Guilty? No,
- 10:15Speaker 3: he plays like a mafia boss, but he gains a
- 10:17Speaker 3: lot of weight for it. He's actually it's actually a
- 10:19Speaker 3: pretty good movie.
- 10:20Speaker 2: He does really good anything the Pacifier where he plays
- 10:24Speaker 2: like a nanny.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I think, so there's like a duck. Is he like
- 10:26Speaker 1: a football player? Oh no, no, he's like a military Yeah. Yeah.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Anyways, Okay, what do you remember from like the y
- 10:32Speaker 2: two ky fashion fashion wise? Well, I can tell you
- 10:37Speaker 2: where I shopped where do you remember Exit?
- 10:41Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 10:41Speaker 4: For sure used to where I used to shop there,
- 10:46Speaker 4: But that was in my like straight era, so I'd
- 10:49Speaker 4: wear like like skater short shirts, but they were like
- 10:54Speaker 4: fitted because it was also gooddy and like.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Shorty shirt, shorty shirt. Yeah. No, there's a skate brand shorty.
- 11:02Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah, and then uh jeans, and then I'd
- 11:06Speaker 4: have to accessorize with I mean, looking back, they look
- 11:09Speaker 4: like anal beads but like the metal beads, Yeah for sure. Yeah,
- 11:12Speaker 4: and then styled my hair with LA looks gel but
- 11:16Speaker 4: like the fixed spiky Oh.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
- 11:20Speaker 4: That was my fit for for a while.
- 11:23Speaker 3: I remember all the kids that were Exit I thought
- 11:25Speaker 3: were so fucking cool, like because it was like kind
- 11:28Speaker 3: of expensive, like it was like forty five dollars for
- 11:30Speaker 3: a shirt and I'm like, god damn.
- 11:31Speaker 1: And that was in two thousand times. I was like,
- 11:33Speaker 1: what forty five bucks?
- 11:34Speaker 2: But yeah, I got into uh really got into like
- 11:37Speaker 2: second hand clothing. It was around like maybe not two thousand,
- 11:40Speaker 2: but like two thousand and one. Two thousand and two
- 11:43Speaker 2: is when I got my first job, so I had
- 11:45Speaker 2: my own money, so I was like, oh sweet, I
- 11:46Speaker 2: might go shopping, but I'm not going to shop at
- 11:48Speaker 2: like a clothing store that's like expensive. So I would
- 11:51Speaker 2: go to like Value Village before I started working there,
- 11:53Speaker 2: shout out. Value Village was like like a trashy good Will,
- 11:56Speaker 2: and I would get like buttons that was like I
- 12:00Speaker 2: don't know like about goofy or whatever, and like be
- 12:03Speaker 2: like wearing buttons to school, be like its goofy. Like
- 12:07Speaker 2: I was such a fucking asshole as a kid.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I have a button on my hat.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a button s a listener.
- 12:12Speaker 3: It says don't dream it be it and it's the
- 12:14Speaker 3: mouth from a rocky horror fuck.
- 12:17Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:17Speaker 2: No, I just was like, your money goes a lot
- 12:20Speaker 2: further on value village or goodwill.
- 12:22Speaker 3: I remember one time to I was like seventh or
- 12:25Speaker 3: eighth grade, so right around the two thousands, Yeah, my
- 12:27Speaker 3: dad gave me, i don't know, like fifty bucks to
- 12:29Speaker 3: go shopping or whatever, and uh, my buddy Mark was
- 12:33Speaker 3: about to get rid of a bunch of his jeans.
- 12:35Speaker 1: I was like, oh, can I have those?
- 12:37Speaker 3: And he's like sure, So then I got I took
- 12:39Speaker 3: all those jeans, and then I got fifty dollars to
- 12:42Speaker 3: spend with whatever I wanted.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Hell yeah, good times.
- 12:45Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:45Speaker 3: I used to do a value vision all time too,
- 12:48Speaker 3: just because like I never except for when I was
- 12:50Speaker 3: late high school. I used to shop at Ammer Commune
- 12:53Speaker 3: or no, no, uh. I used to shop there a
- 12:57Speaker 3: bunch because I was really into polos.
- 12:59Speaker 1: For about two years years of my life.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Yeah, so I used to stop there, But before that,
- 13:02Speaker 3: I'd always go to Valley Visions my pants and then
- 13:06Speaker 3: I would just get band t shirts online.
- 13:08Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that's a good fit.
- 13:10Speaker 1: I like that.
- 13:11Speaker 2: I liked I kept the puka shell business, like the
- 13:13Speaker 2: industry alive for so long, like after the fat was done. Yeah,
- 13:17Speaker 2: pucka shells were like my jam. Like i'd never been
- 13:19Speaker 2: to Hawaii, Like my mom was pregnant with me when
- 13:22Speaker 2: she went, but like that doesn't count because I was
- 13:23Speaker 2: in her ovaries.
- 13:25Speaker 3: You know, it's crazy because I haven't read this yet.
- 13:28Speaker 3: But when we decided we're going to do this episode,
- 13:32Speaker 3: I just happened to find a diary entry that I
- 13:35Speaker 3: wrote on December thirty first no way.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Yeah, so I haven't read this yet, so bear with me.
- 13:45Speaker 1: All right, here we go, dear diary, it's me.
- 13:49Speaker 3: Yeah, boy, Andy, Well who else would it be if
- 13:52Speaker 3: you're reading this and you're not Andy? Get out. Oh
- 13:55Speaker 3: what a year it's been. My mom and my sister
- 13:57Speaker 3: both died, and that sucked. I start sixth grade. That sucked,
- 14:01Speaker 3: and now we have to worry about.
- 14:02Speaker 1: This Y two K thing.
- 14:04Speaker 3: A lot of people are saying the world's gonna end.
- 14:06Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna happen. That'd be like saying
- 14:09Speaker 3: the Twin Towers one day will fall, or something like
- 14:12Speaker 3: Bill Cosby will end up in prison. Just two things
- 14:15Speaker 3: that will never ever happen, guaranteed that. But I did
- 14:18Speaker 3: get a guitar, so I've been playing guitar a lot recently.
- 14:21Speaker 3: That's pretty cool. I think I'm gonna try skateboarding. Hopefully
- 14:26Speaker 3: I won't break an ankle or smash my head too
- 14:27Speaker 3: hard or anything.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Like that, which I did both.
- 14:31Speaker 3: The school's been okay, but mainly hanging out with my
- 14:33Speaker 3: friends from elementary school since I'm.
- 14:35Speaker 1: In sixth grade. I discovered dragon ball Z. Well that's
- 14:41Speaker 1: about it. I guess I'll see you later.
- 14:44Speaker 2: That's so good.
- 14:46Speaker 3: But then I found another diary entry for the next day,
- 14:49Speaker 3: which is crazy.
- 14:51Speaker 1: It goes hey Diary, it's January first, two thousand. It's Andy. Yeah, boy,
- 14:57Speaker 1: what a crazy What a crazy night? Last night was.
- 15:01Speaker 3: Somehow I got mixed up with a band of gorillas,
- 15:04Speaker 3: not like the kind from you know.
- 15:06Speaker 1: The rainforest or wherever gorillas live, but g U E
- 15:10Speaker 1: R I L L A S.
- 15:11Speaker 3: They confused me with someone in their team, and I
- 15:14Speaker 3: was tasked to go with them into banking systems of
- 15:17Speaker 3: America and I had to try to crumble everything. But
- 15:21Speaker 3: they realized halfway through I was an eleven year old
- 15:23Speaker 3: boy and I wasn't the person they thought I was.
- 15:26Speaker 3: So after a few hours of horrible, horrible torture, they
- 15:30Speaker 3: realized I'm not a CIA spy, and in fact they
- 15:34Speaker 3: got me by accident from the McDonald's.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Yeah, so pretty rough beginning.
- 15:39Speaker 3: To Y two K the year two thousand, but I
- 15:42Speaker 3: did get some awesome mini m and ms.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Yeah crazy.
- 15:49Speaker 2: I found those diaries wild, like your beginning of the
- 15:53Speaker 2: year was of the millennium was ridiculously crazy.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that gorilla people. They were like
- 16:00Speaker 3: they thought I was part of their terrorist organization. I
- 16:03Speaker 3: think it's great. How like I don't know if you
- 16:05Speaker 3: want to go here or not, but I think it's

- 16:39Speaker 1: Before, like Toxicity, but it's the very first city. It's
- 16:44Speaker 1: really heavy.

- 16:47Speaker 3: morning and I would put the music on, and then
- 16:50Speaker 3: I used to have a Didas Clone. So even now
- 16:52Speaker 3: when I wear Adidas Clone, I think of System of

- 17:25Speaker 3: Blow up buildings, blow up hospitals, blow up all the
- 17:28Speaker 3: kids at schools, they kill them like they were fucking Joe's.
- 17:32Speaker 3: It's talking about the Iraq War, right. Well, some kid
- 17:35Speaker 3: was listening to it and their parents heard that and
- 17:37Speaker 3: they called into the school, thinking.
- 17:39Speaker 1: We were like shooters or whatever.
- 17:41Speaker 3: So I'm in class, dude, just hanging out and I
- 17:44Speaker 3: get this message like, Andy, can you come down to
- 17:46Speaker 3: the office whatever. So I go to the office and
- 17:47Speaker 3: I walk into this little room and there's the principal,
- 17:50Speaker 3: the cop for McNary, and a dude in a suit
- 17:53Speaker 3: and I walk in. I'm like, what's going on? And
- 17:56Speaker 3: they start talking to me a little bit right, and
- 17:58Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, I don't know. I think any
- 18:00Speaker 3: call my dad really quick. So I leave the room
- 18:02Speaker 3: and I call my dad. I'm like, dude, They're like,
- 18:03Speaker 3: asked me much of weird questions and ship like it
- 18:05Speaker 3: seems kind of weird. He goes, who When I tell him,

- 18:14Speaker 3: don't go back in there until you know I talked

- 18:18Speaker 3: he's like, what in the fuck are you guys doing.
- 18:20Speaker 3: That's a minor And then they were like, oh shoot.
- 18:23Speaker 3: And so then they didn't talk to me again, but
- 18:24Speaker 3: then they banned our website from every school in America
- 18:26Speaker 3: after that, and they almost kicked us out.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yi.

- 18:44Speaker 5: Is what's a podcast?
- 18:57Speaker 1: December thirty first, nineteen nine. It was on a Friday.
- 19:00Speaker 3: Rob Thomas was born on a military base in Germany.
- 19:03Speaker 3: Rob Thomas and his wife have a charity called Sidewalk
- 19:06Speaker 3: Angels that support no Kill animal shelters. Rob Thomas is
- 19:09Speaker 3: the least singer of Matchbox twenty if you didn't know
- 19:11Speaker 3: who that was, but him and Santana had the number
- 19:14Speaker 3: one song during December thirty one, nineteen ninety nine, what's

- 19:44Speaker 3: probably the world was Smooth by Santana and Rob Thomas.
- 19:48Speaker 2: Yeah, Santana's such a great musician. And Rob Thomas, he
- 19:52Speaker 2: like looks like he saggy like Emma Roberts. Honey were
- 19:57Speaker 2: some of the things that you liked about this time?
- 20:00Speaker 2: I'm frame.
- 20:04Speaker 4: So I remember I actually had my My mom used
- 20:08Speaker 4: to pay my brother and I she was a teacher
- 20:11Speaker 4: in the school district, and after school she was in
- 20:17Speaker 4: a kindergarten teacher, so she was at a different school
- 20:19Speaker 4: and we we'd hang out there after school and she
- 20:22Speaker 4: would pay us to sweep the gym.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 20:26Speaker 4: So like that's how I made money, and I, for
- 20:29Speaker 4: whatever reason, thought that, like it was a good idea
- 20:35Speaker 4: to take the money that I earn and pay for
- 20:40Speaker 4: like a landline in my room.
- 20:41Speaker 1: That's nope.
- 20:42Speaker 4: And I had an answering machine too, So like that's
- 20:48Speaker 4: that's what I worked for, was my you're in eighth grade.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Eighth grade?
- 20:54Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that.
- 20:55Speaker 3: Like after like a hard day of school, you go home,
- 20:57Speaker 3: you put your like what's how.
- 20:59Speaker 4: You put your back?
- 21:00Speaker 1: And you're like.
- 21:04Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 21:05Speaker 4: So I had one of those phones you could see through.
- 21:09Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and because I killed it at like magazine drives.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, the blow up couch.
- 21:16Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Do you remember what your answer machine? Like, like your lyric?
- 21:21Speaker 4: That's funny that you say that I do, because I
- 21:23Speaker 4: had a rap that so good that that I would play,
- 21:28Speaker 4: but it it went leave a message after the tone.
- 21:35Speaker 4: Do you hear me rapping?
- 21:36Speaker 1: Even though I might be home.
- 21:37Speaker 2: If you like this stuff, you're out of your mind.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Maybe if you're lucky, I'll call you back time.
- 21:44Speaker 2: That's awesome.
- 21:45Speaker 1: I never knew I love that so much. Yeah, oh
- 21:49Speaker 1: my god, that's wonderful. Yeah.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Did anybody ever leave you a message? Wrapping back?
- 21:54Speaker 4: Nobody ever left me a message because the only people
- 21:56Speaker 4: that would call me were my friends, and when I'm
- 21:59Speaker 4: at school, they're at school. Yeah. Sure, So there were
- 22:04Speaker 4: a couple of times that I would intentionally not answer
- 22:09Speaker 4: my phone and hopes that somebody would leave me a
- 22:12Speaker 4: voicemail or an answering machine message.
- 22:15Speaker 2: What do you think at our age? An appropriate voicemail
- 22:20Speaker 2: box messages?
- 22:21Speaker 4: I don't leave them, but like, you know what, that's
- 22:24Speaker 4: not true. I leave messages on Marissa's voicemail shot at Mersa. Yeah,
- 22:30Speaker 4: just because it's funny to like, you know, go on
- 22:33Speaker 4: and on. But like I never call somebody and I'm like, hey,
- 22:37Speaker 4: this is me, call me back, because they know.
- 22:41Speaker 2: I love Jeremy's voice mail box his answering machine thing,
- 22:45Speaker 2: because it says something like this is Jeremy Blox, like
- 22:48Speaker 2: I'll call you back pretty much. I'll call you back
- 22:50Speaker 2: when I'm free. Like it's it's just the way the
- 22:54Speaker 2: verbiage is it's so it's funny. It's like, I'll call
- 22:58Speaker 2: you back at my earliest convenience. So andy is society?
- 23:03Speaker 1: Well, like the.
- 23:04Speaker 3: Whole thing about Y two K is like I kind
- 23:06Speaker 3: of feel like this is the beginning of kind of
- 23:09Speaker 3: when media started really being more for entertainment than actual media.
- 23:17Speaker 3: Because before that, if you think about it, like TV
- 23:20Speaker 3: really got big in the sixties and it was like
- 23:21Speaker 3: Walter kronkright or whatever you yeah, and so about sixties
- 23:24Speaker 3: to the eighties, and then about the early nineties, like
- 23:28Speaker 3: Fox started then, and that's kind of when that twenty
- 23:30Speaker 3: four hour news thing started, and I feel like the
- 23:33Speaker 3: whole media really exploded everybody's fears of Y two K.
- 23:38Speaker 3: And I think that's kind of the start toe we
- 23:40Speaker 3: are right now to where it's like, you know, now
- 23:43Speaker 3: we have like social media that just kind of makes
- 23:45Speaker 3: everything way bigger than not everything, but something's way bigger
- 23:48Speaker 3: than it need to be just for like reactions. But
- 23:50Speaker 3: I kind of feel like that was an issue with
- 23:52Speaker 3: Y two K too.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, So do you want me to talk
- 23:58Speaker 2: about Walter k krinkrighte?
- 24:00Speaker 1: Yes, Okay.
- 24:01Speaker 2: Do you remember that music producer Phil Spector with the
- 24:05Speaker 2: crazy ass hair and.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Then he kill his wife or something.
- 24:10Speaker 2: So before that, he was invited to Joan Rivers house
- 24:15Speaker 2: for a Christmas party one year and got really hammered
- 24:19Speaker 2: and this all ledged, but he got really hammered and
- 24:21Speaker 2: he was asked to leave. The next year, he comes
- 24:24Speaker 2: back because he was like he wasn't just like a murderer.
- 24:26Speaker 2: He was also like an amazing producer and musician, and
- 24:31Speaker 2: he came back for the next Christmas party and was
- 24:34Speaker 2: like playing music and doing his thing, looking batshit crazy.
- 24:38Speaker 2: And apparently he had like some I don't know the details,
- 24:42Speaker 2: but some kind of murderous vendetta against Walter Cronkite's daughter,
- 24:49Speaker 2: and I guess like pulled out a gun at Joan
- 24:52Speaker 2: Rivers Christmas party at the daughter, chased her up the
- 24:55Speaker 2: stairs and then got forcibly removed from the party. And
- 25:00Speaker 2: then when the trial happened with Phil Spector, uh, I guess,
- 25:05Speaker 2: like Joan Rivers and like her bodyguards and stuff were
- 25:08Speaker 2: like had to like testify like about like his character
- 25:11Speaker 2: and stuff. I'm like, get one time kicked out of
- 25:15Speaker 2: your christ party, Okay, We're fine, Like let's come back
- 25:18Speaker 2: again next year. And then that happens. It's like, oh
- 25:21Speaker 2: my god, jokes on me. Yeah that I liked what
- 25:25Speaker 2: you're talking about with news at the time, because like
- 25:29Speaker 2: that one was spilled Phil Spector.
- 25:32Speaker 5: One.
- 25:32Speaker 2: Also around that time was the Ponzi schemes. Who was
- 25:36Speaker 2: it that really got? Who was it? They stole a
- 25:43Speaker 2: bunch of money from a bunch of people. It was
- 25:45Speaker 2: just like that type of news was covering all of
- 25:49Speaker 2: those big like Kurt Court fans. Yeah, at that time.
- 25:54Speaker 2: So I don't I just remember, like just the news
- 25:57Speaker 2: was different back in hy two K time. Yeah, you
- 26:00Speaker 2: could obtain news a different way, including court stuff.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Well, I was thinking kind of a new funny segment

- 28:21Speaker 2: That was really good, what music was like really big
- 28:25Speaker 2: at this time? Whoa Well?
- 28:30Speaker 4: I mean, you can't talk about Y two K without
- 28:33Speaker 4: talking about Brittany. I was thinking, yeah, no, I mean
- 28:39Speaker 4: she was amazing. A few years ago, I was working
- 28:45Speaker 4: at a dance studio and I had a younger class
- 28:50Speaker 4: that I was teaching and I played I think it
- 28:54Speaker 4: was for warm ups. I played the Brittany and Madonna
- 28:57Speaker 4: song Me against the Music.
- 29:01Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just me and me.
- 29:03Speaker 4: They could not tell me. They didn't know who Britney
- 29:08Speaker 4: Spears was. I said, this is with Britney Spears Madonna,
- 29:11Speaker 4: and they're like, who, they don't, you know.
- 29:13Speaker 1: What I mean?
- 29:14Speaker 4: I think eventually, you know, people that we see as
- 29:18Speaker 4: legends are just not really going to be legends.
- 29:22Speaker 2: That bums me out because like one of my favorite
- 29:25Speaker 2: like kind of gay Iconda, she wasn't gay, but like
- 29:28Speaker 2: a gay Iconda at the time back in my childhood
- 29:30Speaker 2: was Downtown Julie Brown. And then also there was other
- 29:33Speaker 2: Julie Brown on MTV and she was from Earth Girls
- 29:36Speaker 2: are easy with like Jim Carrey, Wayne's Who's the bitch
- 29:41Speaker 2: from Thelmon Louise not Susan Sarandon.
- 29:44Speaker 1: Wasn't Jeff gold Boom in that movie too?
- 29:45Speaker 2: Yes, Jeff Goldbloom's in it? And but who is it
- 29:47Speaker 2: Geena Davis? And Okay, so she sings this song, Julie Brown,
- 29:50Speaker 2: and it's called because I'm Blonde. It's so amazing and
- 29:54Speaker 2: like the there's a part towards the end of it
- 29:57Speaker 2: where she's like does like a little speech like and
- 29:59Speaker 2: it goes let me see if I remember. Okay, I
- 30:02Speaker 2: just want to say, being chosen is this month's Miss
- 30:05Speaker 2: August is a compliment. I remember for as long as
- 30:07Speaker 2: I can right here, right now. I'm a fourth year
- 30:10Speaker 2: at my UM. Right now, I'm a freshman at my
- 30:13Speaker 2: fourth year at UCLA. But my girl, my goal is
- 30:17Speaker 2: to become a veterinarian because I love children. It's so sweet.
- 30:21Speaker 2: I fucking love Julie Brown.
- 30:24Speaker 4: Did you ever like dress up and like do that
- 30:28Speaker 4: in front of like any percent?
- 30:31Speaker 1: Yes?
- 30:31Speaker 4: I felt like that was something.
- 30:33Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Earth Girls are Easy is it's so
- 30:37Speaker 2: fucking it's aliens and like it just fucking bizarre. I
- 30:40Speaker 2: love it so much. But I would perform Earth Goes
- 30:42Speaker 2: Start Easy Musical, and then I would perform pretty much
- 30:46Speaker 2: all of Spice from Spice Girls in front of my
- 30:48Speaker 2: sister and my family. I gotta do like performances like
- 30:51Speaker 2: Friday Nights.
- 30:52Speaker 3: But that's funny because like when I was after the
- 30:56Speaker 3: first time I saw Rezero Dogs, I was probably twelve
- 30:58Speaker 3: or thirteen. I remember, right Star was done, I went
- 31:01Speaker 3: to bed or you know, after the movie, I was
- 31:04Speaker 3: going to bed or whatever. But before I did, there
- 31:06Speaker 3: was I was looking in the mirror and I remember
- 31:08Speaker 3: I was trying to act out like the Harvey ki
- 31:11Speaker 3: Tel scene, like like you almost shot me, asshole, you
- 31:17Speaker 3: know things like that, or like uh, because I don't
- 31:20Speaker 3: know you're a doctor or your fucking doctor.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Getting shot in the in the belly is like the
- 31:25Speaker 1: worst place other than me. You're gonna be fine. Say
- 31:27Speaker 1: the word I'm gonna be fine. Say the fucking word
- 31:30Speaker 1: You're gonna be fine. I remember, I remember doing that.
- 31:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought Harvey Grenell was so fucking cool, and
- 31:37Speaker 3: I still think it's cool.
- 31:38Speaker 1: And I love resorducts so much.
- 31:40Speaker 2: I was over here like a little faggot being like,
- 31:42Speaker 2: so we went. Because I'm blonde, I don't have to think.
- 31:45Speaker 2: I talk like a baby, and I never pick for drinks.
- 31:48Speaker 2: I don't have to worry about getting a man. If
- 31:50Speaker 2: I keep this blonde and I keep these tand and.
- 31:54Speaker 3: Then I go to mister pink Steve Besimy.
- 31:58Speaker 1: I don't know how to say Sam.
- 31:59Speaker 3: Anyway, when Harvey Hotel knocks him down, he's on the ground,
- 32:02Speaker 3: he pulls again. I goes, I actually I can normally
- 32:05Speaker 3: do this pretty good. Let me try to mess you
- 32:07Speaker 3: want to fuck around, I'll show you're fucking with No.
- 32:09Speaker 1: That was a very better one. Sometimes I'll show you're with.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Uh blonde be Ello and T because I'm a blonde.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Don't you wish you were me? Because I'm a blonde
- 32:21Speaker 2: be ello? I don't know.
- 32:24Speaker 3: And then like mister Blonde would say, like, well, if
- 32:27Speaker 3: they didn't do what I told him not to do,
- 32:29Speaker 3: they'll still be alive.
- 32:32Speaker 2: Bravo, Bravo and mixed Reservoir Dogs and Earth Girls were
- 32:37Speaker 2: easy and just merge those two together. But that was
- 32:42Speaker 2: like girls yeah, there we go because it plays like
- 32:45Speaker 2: Rocky Horror, Grease and like those ones I grew up with,
- 32:48Speaker 2: like something about Earth Girls are easy, like just fucking
- 32:53Speaker 2: it was It's it's gold. It's like as I grew up,
- 32:55Speaker 2: I liked Saturday Life was all right, Mad TV was amazing.
- 33:00Speaker 2: But in Living Color was my jam Oh.
- 33:02Speaker 1: I loved yeah, And it.
- 33:04Speaker 2: Was like in living you know how I've always has
- 33:06Speaker 2: like their movies that are like SNL kind of you know,
- 33:09Speaker 2: backed Yeah, this was kind of like a in living
- 33:12Speaker 2: color movie, so it's good.
- 33:15Speaker 3: Anyways, I remember I was so into in Living Color
- 33:18Speaker 3: that I remember when I was a little kid, sometimes
- 33:20Speaker 3: it would say Jim Carrey and sometimes it would say
- 33:22Speaker 3: James Carry.
- 33:24Speaker 1: And I was like in my head, I was like,
- 33:25Speaker 1: I wonder, why are they changed? I wonder if you changed.
- 33:27Speaker 2: Or you know, I didn't know, you know, and why
- 33:29Speaker 2: t K like was such the hooplah. But then a
- 33:32Speaker 2: stone store away from there was nine to eleven, as
- 33:34Speaker 2: we talked about before, and I remember because we Kaiser Organ,
- 33:39Speaker 2: we go to to school on nine to eleven, and
- 33:42Speaker 2: the stupid little bitch Amber Rogers was like, I'm she
- 33:46Speaker 2: like raised her hand in mister Crumdick's class and was like,
- 33:49Speaker 2: I'm you didn't have mister Crumdick because you went to Whitaker.
- 33:52Speaker 2: But she was like, I'm scared, and I'm just like
- 33:55Speaker 2: am I. I'm like, uh, We're in Kaiser Organ, We're fine.
- 33:59Speaker 2: And then she goes on to say they did it
- 34:02Speaker 2: because this is on nine to eleven. She says they
- 34:05Speaker 2: did it because it's nine to one one, and I'm like,
- 34:09Speaker 2: excuse me, how does she know? How?
- 34:12Speaker 3: Why when you start investigating her right now, like, calm down,
- 34:17Speaker 3: I remember it too. Right after that happened, like because
- 34:20Speaker 3: I've been I don't know, my parents never really talking
- 34:23Speaker 3: about politics too much or anything like that. The only
- 34:25Speaker 3: thing I kind of remember as a kid politic wise
- 34:29Speaker 3: was there was something going on like Kosovo or something
- 34:31Speaker 3: I can't really remember, but my dad wrote a handwritten
- 34:34Speaker 3: letter to Darlene Hooley, who was like a corongoss person,
- 34:37Speaker 3: and said, I think America should intervene or I can't
- 34:40Speaker 3: really remember what happened, but that's the only thing I remember.
- 34:43Speaker 1: But I've always just.
- 34:45Speaker 3: Generally leaned towards left because I think it makes more sense. Yeah,
- 34:48Speaker 3: I think it's I have empathy, you know, uh with this?
- 34:52Speaker 2: Oh.
- 34:53Speaker 1: I remember right after.
- 34:53Speaker 3: Nine eleven, so many people were like, George Bush handled
- 34:57Speaker 3: it really well.
- 34:58Speaker 1: I mean like what what else?
- 35:02Speaker 3: Like what he's gonna be like, I don't know what
- 35:04Speaker 3: to do and just like run away, Like just just
- 35:07Speaker 3: acknowledging it and talking about it means you handled it well.
- 35:10Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 35:11Speaker 1: The thing I remember, I was so fucking pissed.
- 35:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious what your dad thinks about the whole
- 35:17Speaker 2: Venezuela fan. But I got home about a week after
- 35:20Speaker 2: nine to eleven happened. Now I was like, you know,
- 35:23Speaker 2: going over, came home from school, my dad was off work,
- 35:26Speaker 2: and that fucking asshole who's like the least patriotic person
- 35:29Speaker 2: had an American flag pole installed into our on our
- 35:33Speaker 2: property the same day, like that week after at eleven.
- 35:36Speaker 2: I was like, are you fucking kidding me? Like America
- 35:39Speaker 2: is great whatever, but like Jesus fucking Christ, it's like,
- 35:43Speaker 2: calm down, Gary.
- 35:44Speaker 3: I remember I was in freshman and I went to
- 35:47Speaker 3: an anti Iraq protest or anti anti war protests for Iraq.
- 35:53Speaker 3: And I'm staying there listening to people speaking, and then
- 35:55Speaker 3: I hear guar wants peace, and I was like, what
- 35:58Speaker 3: the fuck it was? My dad was like, oh, I
- 36:00Speaker 3: got off work to come a protest with you. I'm like,
- 36:02Speaker 3: oh cool, thanks.
- 36:03Speaker 1: You know that's pretty cool.
- 36:04Speaker 2: Your dad used to prank phone call Chipotle.
- 36:06Speaker 1: Oh so good? So Chipotle. I don't know if you've
- 36:09Speaker 1: heard this.
- 36:10Speaker 2: Have you heard the story?
- 36:12Speaker 1: No? So Chipotle had this like uh Ecola scare for
- 36:16Speaker 1: a while.
- 36:17Speaker 3: And my dad's been retired essentially since he was like
- 36:19Speaker 3: thirty six or thirty seven, so he has a lot
- 36:20Speaker 3: of free time. But after this e Coli scare they
- 36:23Speaker 3: had and everything was better, my dad would just like
- 36:25Speaker 3: prank the same uh Chipotle.
- 36:28Speaker 1: But he'd be like an old lady.
- 36:30Speaker 3: And it'd be like I heard about the equally, is
- 36:33Speaker 3: that is everything gonna be okay? And they're like, yeah, no, maam,
- 36:36Speaker 3: I can I can assure you that we've taken all
- 36:38Speaker 3: the precautions, and then she would just keep going until
- 36:41Speaker 3: they got fed up, and he'd be.
- 36:43Speaker 1: Like, well, I just I don't want to get sick.
- 36:45Speaker 3: And I heard anyways, and then like he would call
- 36:47Speaker 3: back later as someone else, but he was doing this
- 36:52Speaker 3: by himself just to do it, so yeah, I just yeah.
- 36:56Speaker 2: The turn of the century was fucking bananas that we
- 37:00Speaker 2: went from the night. Because the nineteen hundreds, a lot
- 37:01Speaker 2: of shit happened, like Columbus or genocide, and like the seventies,
- 37:11Speaker 2: like no, like in the.
- 37:12Speaker 1: Fourteen hundred, Yeah, you were way far back.
- 37:15Speaker 4: But then lots of stuff has happened, like millennia.
- 37:19Speaker 2: I don't know what happened, what happened pre two thousand?
- 37:24Speaker 1: So many things? Yeah, yeah, are you talking about like
- 37:27Speaker 1: within a decade or.
- 37:28Speaker 2: Yeah, hundred years, hundred, let's say a hundred that. Yeah,
- 37:31Speaker 2: because a lot of happened one hundred years. Flight flight
- 37:35Speaker 2: happened in the nineteen hundreds.
- 37:37Speaker 1: It was like really.
- 37:38Speaker 3: Late eighteen hundreds, the Wright Brothers, early nineteen hundred, women voting, women,
- 37:42Speaker 3: voting people of colors starting to kind of get some
- 37:46Speaker 3: kind of you know, stance in the kind of.
- 37:48Speaker 2: The moon landing.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a lot of Yeah.
- 37:51Speaker 2: So then what's happened since then? Since the since no,
- 37:55Speaker 2: since two thousand? What what great things have happened?
- 38:00Speaker 1: I mean top of my head?
- 38:01Speaker 2: Like American Idol boom uh, dancing, a new CDs, Dancing
- 38:09Speaker 2: with the Stars, dancing, I Love New York, Flavor of Love. Yeah,
- 38:13Speaker 2: we listener, we have to get it together. We need
- 38:15Speaker 2: to like really show up, because like the nineteen hundreds
- 38:18Speaker 2: had so much shit going down, the two thousands we've
- 38:21Speaker 2: really been like really chill.
- 38:22Speaker 3: Well, I mean smartphones, smartphones, that's huge VR medical stuff
- 38:29Speaker 3: coming out, you know, like what there's a place in
- 38:34Speaker 3: Australia right now saying that they they there's a chance
- 38:37Speaker 3: they cured cervical cancer.
- 38:40Speaker 1: Oh, that's fucking huge.
- 38:42Speaker 2: I got on a new medication like a shows throw
- 38:45Speaker 2: like years ago, and they had before I could get
- 38:47Speaker 2: the medication, they had to give me a tuberculosis test.
- 38:50Speaker 4: It's common.
- 38:51Speaker 2: Oh. I was like, I didn't know that we were
- 38:53Speaker 2: like in the dinosaur era, Like what's going on here?
- 38:55Speaker 1: Well? Thanks with RFK probably coming back soon.
- 38:58Speaker 2: But he is gonna dig out of his throat.
- 39:01Speaker 3: The very first shot I didn't cry to was a
- 39:04Speaker 3: TV shot when I was in fourth grade. I remember
- 39:07Speaker 3: I was so scared because I cried because my dad
- 39:09Speaker 3: was in the military. So we moved a bunch and
- 39:11Speaker 3: it seemed like and I could.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Just be as a kid.
- 39:14Speaker 3: And I can't really remember, but every time we moved
- 39:16Speaker 3: to a new place, I remember like having to get
- 39:18Speaker 3: new shots.
- 39:19Speaker 1: I don't. Maybe it's because I'm going to new school.
- 39:20Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I felt like I
- 39:21Speaker 1: got a shit ton of shots.
- 39:23Speaker 3: But I always cried all the fucking time. But I
- 39:25Speaker 3: remember I was in fourth grade and I got the
- 39:27Speaker 3: TV shot and I was like.
- 39:29Speaker 1: Okay, just do it. Oh that was it. And that's
- 39:31Speaker 1: the last time I cried at a shot.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Nice. I love that, honey. What do you want to
- 39:37Speaker 2: see for the next two thousand years? Like, like, what
- 39:40Speaker 2: are some goals?
- 39:41Speaker 1: I love? That's such a wide.
- 39:46Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna take it back just real quick. I
- 39:49Speaker 4: wanted to share that when nine to eleven happened. Right
- 39:54Speaker 4: before it happened, probably about six six months before it happened,
- 39:58Speaker 4: I was a part of a patriotic singing group called
- 40:03Speaker 4: the Star Spangled Singers, and there were five of us
- 40:09Speaker 4: and we would travel around.
- 40:11Speaker 1: How did you get into this?
- 40:14Speaker 4: So one of my friends that I went to school
- 40:16Speaker 4: with had a dad that had a bunch of like
- 40:20Speaker 4: mics and they would sing for their church, and he
- 40:26Speaker 4: decided he wanted to make something traveling and what a
- 40:30Speaker 4: better way than to incorporate like patriotism, and you know,
- 40:35Speaker 4: everybody loves America and this is in two thousand or
- 40:41Speaker 4: early two thousands. Well, I so when nine to eleven hit,
- 40:48Speaker 4: we still went on tour. My mom was terrified just
- 40:53Speaker 4: because we didn't know what was going on.
- 40:56Speaker 3: Were you kind of like after I and your like,
- 41:00Speaker 3: we need to sing more than we've ever sung.
- 41:02Speaker 4: No, but we like I felt like we thought we
- 41:07Speaker 4: had targets on our back. And what was I like fourteen?
- 41:13Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 41:15Speaker 4: But yeah, do you remember any of the songs?
- 41:17Speaker 1: Were they like homemade songs?
- 41:19Speaker 5: Were?
- 41:19Speaker 4: No, they were traditional, you know, and we were we
- 41:23Speaker 4: were going to like Fourth of July and La Pine
- 41:27Speaker 4: and you know, the Elks clubs and stuff like that.
- 41:30Speaker 4: So it wasn't anything big, but I definitely know what
- 41:32Speaker 4: Taylor Swift feels like, Yeah.
- 41:36Speaker 2: You were on tour.
- 41:38Speaker 1: It did?
- 41:38Speaker 2: It did pretty amazing? Yeah, oh my god.
- 41:41Speaker 3: I still remember my first like real job was Coldstone,
- 41:45Speaker 3: And people always ask me, like, do you remember any
- 41:47Speaker 3: of the songs? The only one I remember is cold Stone.
- 41:50Speaker 3: You're at Coldstone. We're a Scooper Duper family. But I
- 41:54Speaker 3: remember the rest of it. But I remember working at
- 41:55Speaker 3: Coldstone and like my friends would come after school and
- 41:59Speaker 3: they would put a doll.
- 42:00Speaker 1: So then I was like, without buying anything, just for
- 42:03Speaker 1: me to sing and I'll do whatever.
- 42:05Speaker 3: But then I was like, if if we were just
- 42:07Speaker 3: hanging out at your house right now and I was like, Hey,
- 42:09Speaker 3: if you give me a dollar, I'll sing an eight
- 42:10Speaker 3: second shanty.
- 42:11Speaker 1: That'd be like no. I'm like, you know, like why
- 42:14Speaker 1: why they thought it was like, ah, fuck, Andy, you
- 42:17Speaker 1: have to sing now. I'm like, yeah, but you still
- 42:19Speaker 1: give me a dollar. I don't.
- 42:21Speaker 2: I just can't wait. So, like the the New Millennium
- 42:26Speaker 2: had that like futuristic vibe, and I'm just like ready
- 42:29Speaker 2: for like the new future. But yeah, I'm just excited
- 42:32Speaker 2: for the future, you know.
- 42:34Speaker 3: I uh, when it comes to the future, it's kind
- 42:36Speaker 3: of weird because like sometimes I think about things and
- 42:40Speaker 3: when it comes to the future, I'm always like, based
- 42:45Speaker 3: on our past, where are we going in the future?
- 42:47Speaker 1: Right?
- 42:48Speaker 3: And do you know that whole thing about there's like
- 42:49Speaker 3: four for like like for a society, there's four stages.
- 42:56Speaker 3: Like one is like when you're able to finally like
- 42:58Speaker 3: if you're at stage one, you're finally able to start
- 43:01Speaker 3: kind of like traveling the universe. At stage two, you
- 43:07Speaker 3: finally start like curing all diseases at stage three. You
- 43:13Speaker 3: can start making worlds on different planets on stage four,
- 43:18Speaker 3: like it's like top Anyways, our humanity right now is at.
- 43:22Speaker 1: One point seventy five. But I feel like.
- 43:26Speaker 3: Innovation, I feel like it does kind of automatically start
- 43:30Speaker 3: going quicker based on the past innovations. So anyways, my
- 43:35Speaker 3: point is, I feel like in the next like one
- 43:37Speaker 3: hundred or two hundred years, I think we're really going
- 43:39Speaker 3: to start making advances to traveling further than we ever have.
- 43:45Speaker 3: And I feel like a lot of well, I don't know, hopefully, yeah,
- 43:49Speaker 3: you know, even though how shitty everything's going right now,
- 43:52Speaker 3: I think we just have to wait it out.
- 43:54Speaker 1: We're gonna be fine.
- 43:56Speaker 3: But I think a lot of money is going to
- 43:58Speaker 3: start going to diseases. So I think in the next
- 44:02Speaker 3: like one hundred two hundred years, I think a lot
- 44:04Speaker 3: of diseases that we have right now are going to
- 44:05Speaker 3: be done. And I think we're to start really doing
- 44:08Speaker 3: huge jumps.
- 44:10Speaker 2: I don't know. So I think, how do you feel
- 44:13Speaker 2: about astro projection? I don't know what that is, so
- 44:16Speaker 2: like projecting yourself out there. So I feel like, baby,
- 44:19Speaker 2: we'll go, We'll visit Mars before we actually physically go
- 44:24Speaker 2: to Mars, like we'll project ourselves almost like hologram like
- 44:28Speaker 2: onto Mars and be able to experience Mars like virtual
- 44:32Speaker 2: reality and not actually be on Mars yet.
- 44:36Speaker 1: Well we already kind of have that. We do.
- 44:37Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a rover on Mars right now and
- 44:40Speaker 3: they take full great looking pictures and then I have
- 44:43Speaker 3: a VR goggles and you can actually find those pictures
- 44:47Speaker 3: and you can do full three sixty views like you're
- 44:50Speaker 3: on Mars.
- 44:50Speaker 2: Wow.
- 44:51Speaker 3: And they also have the sound it would sound like
- 44:54Speaker 3: because they have an audio thing, so you can like
- 44:56Speaker 3: with the VR goggles right now, you can like be
- 44:59Speaker 3: like what would be if you're on Mars with the sound.
- 45:02Speaker 2: And my goal is if I become go on Mars,
- 45:05Speaker 2: I want to be like the first person to be
- 45:06Speaker 2: like eating like a twist candy and like just fucking
- 45:09Speaker 2: litterstily just like this planet, just like a pot.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Okay, So I do feel like.
