Change Is Comin' · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Change is coming. It's one more thing I'm strong, and
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: one more thing specifically buying and selling houses. Cool.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty interesting, have that for a Yeah.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: So you mentioned this during the Armstrong Ingeddy Show. We
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: were talking about spring break and how so Miami decided
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: they don't want people anymore there?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Huh, not for spring break? No two whild too violent,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: too damaging, that sort of thing, because they've got a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: steady tourism industry there. They don't need to be overwhelmed
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: by crazed twenty year olds once a year.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: So how does this happen over and over again? Though?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: That cities welcome spring Break, then turn against it, then
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: another city welcomes it.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I what do you mean by welcomes it? Because
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I think generally speaking, they have a tour industry. Word
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: gets around, it becomes very popular for spring break until
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: it's overwhelming, and then they take steps to cut it down.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I suppose it depends. It varies on
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: how accommodating they are to the spring break world. I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: would think as soon as you got a whiff of
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: we're becoming the spring break destination, you would come up
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: with ways to like make that less.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Popular institute martial law practically, which Miami Beach has to
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: a significant extent, curfeuse at eleven fifty nine PM and
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: that sort of thing. But they put out this commercial
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: in essence around the country about spring break that I
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: thought was really pretty well crafted.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Here it is, okay, well we need to talk. This
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: isn't working anymore, and it's not us, it's you. We
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: just want different things, all right. You have a good time,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it's relaxing on the beach, hitting up the spot, or
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: checking out a new restaurant.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: You guys want to get drunken public and ignore laws.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Do you even remember what happened last March? That was
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: our breaking point? So we're breaking up with you, and don't.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Try to apologize and come crawling back.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: This is in safe So we're done, just so you
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: know we're serious. This March, you can expect things like curfews,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: bag checks and restricted beach access, DUI checkpoints, one hundred
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: dollars parking, and strong police enforcement for drug possession and violence,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: whatever it takes, because it's times you want. Maybe we
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: can talk when you're done with your spring break phase,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: but until then, that's pretty good. Yeah, what was the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: sound there of the you went too far.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: You probably saw it last year, the riots in the streets,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: violence and the cops having a charge in and arrest
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: people and beatings.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And I wouldn't I wouldn't think you'd have to do
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: anything beyond the curfew. You tell everybody you can't be
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: on the beach, on the streets, outdoor, You got to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: be in your room by midnight. That ends it. A
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: bunch of people did not get the word.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: It'll take a little while, and we're you know, out
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: late in rioting in the rest in Miami Beach. But man,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: they arrested people and find them and everything, so it's
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: going to be process.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And now they've moved up the road to Fort Lauderdale.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, somewhere else warm and sunny and beachy. Anyway,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I worked during spring breaks. I know you took.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: One after I got out of college. Oh yeah, I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: worked every vacation of my entire college career. I worked
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: over Christmas, Thanksgiving, the entire summer always. So when I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: got out of college, I thought I went through my
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: entire college, which took me five years, never took one
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: vacation from my full time job. So I went on
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: a spring break to Daytona, and everybody called me the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: old man because I was twenty three, which was embarrassing.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I took zero spring break trips.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Of course, you know.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Part of the reason for that is if I felt
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: like getting hammered Tuesday night was a good enough casion.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: There weren't that many women in bikinis nor beaches there
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday night.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I remember, I remember when I made the decision, Gladys
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So I was in the library, i think, and I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: saw this thing pinned on the wall and said, go
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to Daytona Beach round trip, hotel and transportation two hundred
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and thirty dollars. I thought, I can go to Daytona
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Beach for a week, transportation and the hotel's two hundred
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and thirty dollars. I mean, I was poor, but I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: had never taken a vacation, and I thought, I'm finally
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: going to take a vacation. So I signed up for that,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and it was God dang it. I was almost too
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: old for it at twenty three. It was grueling. They'd
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: put you on a bus and they drove all the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: way there, thirty two hour drive, stopping all for gas.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You're on a bus, for thirty two hours. How many
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: bathrooms one disgusting bathroom at the back of the Oh no,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: plus there's the whole. I mean, it started off as
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a fun party. You're on the bus and it's nice
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and people got boom boxes and everybody's drinking because people
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: just came on there with cases of beer and I'm
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: just stacked everywhere and drinking it. Okay, that was fun
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that first day. You know, you're partying to playing music. Whoa.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Then you know, you people fall asleep at various times,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and then there's the crowd that wants to be up
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: later than everybody else. Your head is pounding, and then
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the next day you just feel like you're gonna die.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You're still on the bus for another like twenty four hours.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: The bathroom is just like like Haiti is right now,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and NonStop music and screaming, and it was just oh,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: it was brutal. Yeah, yeah, no kidding, Katie.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: If you if you sentenced people who committed violent crimes
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to that, the Supreme Court would overturn it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I remember actually thinking, well, I gotta just start drinking again.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: The only way I can tolerate this is if I'm drunk,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: because it's so hungover and everything to make it through
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the day. But then when I got there, speaking to
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: destroying cities, I'd never seen anything like this in my life.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And I came from a fairly sheltered background, but I'd
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: never seen anything like this. We check into the motel
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: six and everything like that, and everything is broken, Everything
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: is destroyed. Every lamp has been smashed, every light fixture
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: has been smashed, every window is smashed. It's just the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: way people did it. Got on the elevator, all the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: lights above you are smashed out. Just everybody smashed everything.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: What the hell?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And that's when I got there because it'd been because
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: it's staggered. Not everybody's spring break is the same week,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: so it's staggered over like a three week period, and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it had been going on for a couple of weeks.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: When we got there, we just everything was broken and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: smashed and it was crazy. This does not sound like
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a good time. It was anarchy.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I'm I would not be surprised if more and more
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: city these didn't do what Miami did. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: that may have been like a triple negative. I apologize
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: for that sentence. My point is more cities will be
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: doing what Miami. Did they have to? I remember, particularly
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: because and this is undeniable. This is not an old
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: man yelling at clouds. Again, I'm a guy will get
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: hammered on a Tuesday night. I don't judge, but in general,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: lawlessness is way up. The feeling of I don't have
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to follow your rules is way up, gun possession way
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: up among the young, particularly some demographic groups. It's just
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: it's gotten to the point that, again, if this happened
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to a city, it's not like it's not some good
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: some bad.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: No, it's a nightmare. I remember thinking at the time, like,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: did they come out ahead on this? So having every
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: room booked every night for three weeks, it's still you
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: come out ahead. Haven't replaced all these fixtures and windows
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and everything like that doesn't even seem like possible. What
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: turns out, I guess you don't. Here's my best story, though, Katie.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: This okay. So I had a girlfriend when I went
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: off to spring break. She was really worried about my behavior,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: but I was I was a good guy. So this
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: really cute girl hit on me at spring break, like
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: asked me out, Like we went on a kind of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: a It wasn't really a date. But we met for
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: drinks somewhere. It was pretty clear what she was up to,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and I just say, I like, okay, i'll see you later.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: She ended up with some other guy and they ended
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: up making out the entire thirty two hour drive back
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: in the bus and everything like that. I passed it,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and I ended up breaking up with my girlfriend like
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: a week later, like a week after I got back.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I passed up that situation. Dad, I've always wondered why
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I did that.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: So okay, I'm I'm so she hit on you. You
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: didn't go with it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So she was wanting to have well she was she.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I mean they ended up dating. She wanted to she
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: wanted to find a boyfriend. She was actually looking for
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a boyfriend, not just a hookup. And I, yeah, I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: turned her down.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Sounds like she wasn't setting much of a bar if
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: she was just jumping around from this bus.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: What you're saying, no, not you, I'm saying, jumping around
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: on the bus.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jack, maybe that's not what she is saying. That's
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Janius.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: She Well, I'm sorry, Jack. That sounds like that sucks.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: That old trip sounds like it sucked actually from start.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's pretty damn drunk. I uh, I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: was pretty drunk for a long time. I remember. By
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the end of the week, though, everybody was like, I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: just don't think I can do this any longer. And
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: this is among twenty year olds. Everybody's just like, I can't.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I can't go to another party. I can't. We got
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: to get home.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: That's a been made for that.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And I was so poor, and the guys I was
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: hanging out with, we were all really poor. So we
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: were drinking like Schaefers light, you know, like you know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: five dollars a case beer, like really cheap stuff. And
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: we couldn't afford to go to bars and drink like
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: real drinks like some people were doing.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: We have bar have beer brands that they couldn't even
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: afford rat filters in their their manufacturing plants, so they
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: didn't bother to filter the hair out of there or anything.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: No.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Oh God, natural Ice tried to send me to my
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: maker a long time ago.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: But like the other people that had money, they were
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: buying drinks on the beach at the bars and stuff
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: like that. But this suff is way too expensive for me,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: so me and a couple other guys. We'd walk blocks
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: from our hotel to some crappy convenience store to buy
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: cases of this cheap beer and lug it back to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the hotel room, and it would just Yeah, you can
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: only drink so much of that stuff before it's like,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I can hammer down another one
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of these. So funny hearing these stories. It's like a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: survival story, like the Navy seal training, if the point
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: of being a Navy Seal was being able to overcome hangovers. Yeah.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Again, it seems like it's something that happened to you
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: as a.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: A vacation and I only had to pay twohundred bucks
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: for the pleasure for this, Yeah something. It's quite the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: experience of going. I'm glad I saw it because I
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: know what that environment is and it's crazy, just nuts
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: mixing guns. Yeah, that's something that didn't exist. I never
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: saw any gun play or knife play or anything like that.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Well, we were thinking of talking about something else, but
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: that'll do. I'm too tired from Jack's story to you can.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I think if I smelled the Shaper's light or whatever
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that was we were drinking, I think I would vomit
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: right now on the spot.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Is that very even legal in all fifty states?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Right? Well, I guess that's it.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, even thinking about it, it's making me.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I had like fifty bucks spending money for an entire week.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I had direction pretty carefully.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I would have waited for the bus to slow down
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: at some point, just jumped off, even if I broke
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: a leg.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, got it worth? The bathroom in that bus By
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the time we got to Miami, Holy crap, how are
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: they doing me? It was just sloshing over the sides
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and
