  Speaker 3: Welcome to a new episode of Scotty and Abby Unfiltered.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: I gotta say, these comments continue to get better and
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: better every episode.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Because the ideas of the people are just so good.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: The ideas of the people. Let the people speak.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Let the people speak.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Well, one of the things we talked about, maybe last
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: episode or the episode before, was the show that you
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: should apply to be on, Abby.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Former Once A Wife?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: No, that was not the one that people are now saying.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: You've talked a lot about Big Brother. Big Brother.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, which, by the way, big drama, and this
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: will get posted on Monday, so this is old news now,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: but Drew and Melody live to see another week.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I wish I knew who they were. Gosh dang.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I've been talking about them all week long.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I know, but I don't know the show.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: They're so buzzy. They're the cute situationship.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: They've got that tension between them, but they haven't actually
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: acted on it.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone's been expecting them for Melody to get kicked
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: off this week because she's not good at playing the game.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: And I guess she won like two competitions yesterday out
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: of nowhere. I have a feeling like the producers had
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to have rigged it or something. I didn't watch it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I'm literally just watching the edits on TikTok. But she
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: she's staying another week.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: You know what it is? It's probably because people are
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: going to start falling in love with that love story.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Like if you said if you're watching it simply for them.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, 100 percent. It's literally I've never seen two people
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: with more chemistry in my life. Like it's insane watching them.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: It's.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It is palpable. I've never seen two people be more
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: into each other.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Well, then they're definitely going to keep them along.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Well, if they live another week, I saw we saw
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: a comment from Jacqueline who said Abby should apply for
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Big Brother. It's basically a dating show with as many
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: showcases there are. These couples who get together last longer
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: than any other dating show.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's literally situationship core. You're just lounging around
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in your loungewear all day, and then you.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Play a game every now and then. Doesn't that sound
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: like heaven?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: But I've seen some of the games, like one of
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the games they just played, they had to stand in
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a circle for like 12 hours holding some kind of stick.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that doesn't sound very fun to me.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: That doesn't, I mean, what do you win at the end?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Do you know what you win?
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I think it's a million dollars or something like that.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, okay. I mean, yeah, it's a lot
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: of money, but.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I'll stand in a circle with a stick for a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: million dollars.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: The problem is I'm not good. I wouldn't be good
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: at that because I'm too competitive that I would isolate
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: myself from the other people in the house, I think.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: And the whole point.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Is I think to make alliances and relationships with people
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in the house. And I think I'm so competitive that
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I just don't think I'd be good at it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Damn it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I was about to say, like, I don't know what
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: the application process looks like. Do you follow anybody on Instagram?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Cause I've seen like producers go on Instagram and they're like,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: all right, the shows, you know, we're looking for cast members.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I'm a producer.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: If you're interested, DM me or here's the process to
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: get on. Have you like, is that how.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: You, I honestly forgot it was still a show.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Honestly.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: And I think they filmed for like, I mean, I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: think they've been filming since July. So, I mean, that's
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: three months of your life that you're just in a house.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: But like we say, I mean, once you get on
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: that show forever, forever, Changed not just because.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think so name one person that was on
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Big Brother last year.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, let me think I can't you can't yeah, I
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: don't know but maybe like that helps if you have
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: you know the people that do watch it I'm sure
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: your Instagram followers go through the roof and that could
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: hopefully help with.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Like let's see I don't know so I don't even
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: watch the show and I Know about Drew and Melody.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So let me see If Melody pops up, let's see
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: how many Melody Big Brother.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Because I would like to see like if that could
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: help in general But I think I had a friend
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: that during COVID, they did like a virtual one, and
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: he got on the show virtually.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was Big Brother. I think
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: he was applying to be on Big Brother through the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: virtual world.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: See, I can't even find Melody Morris.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Hang on.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's going to be a very disappointing number.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I can't even find her account.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, that's not good. Yeah.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: This is not one of those shows I think you
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: go on for clout.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: But they do have a cult following. Like, we got
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: a bunch of comments about Big Brother because you mentioned it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So it's like the following is strong. You would think
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: that it would put people on the map.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: No, the people love Big Brother. I mean, I was
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: on the fucking 1% Club and I got DMs about it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: They're like, did I just see you on 1% Club?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, for like four seconds.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Four seconds. Your one moment of fame. Okay, so never mind.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I thought that was the way in.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: It would be fun to get on a show.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it would be, but three months to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: just sit in a house, I think I'd go crazy.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Yes. I think it sounds nice.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Like we talked about, I think yesterday, like, yeah, living
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: on a cruise for a year sounds nice in theory.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: You get a couple months in, you're like, I'm going crazy.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I've done the same thing every single day. My
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: routine is extremely boring.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I know. And knowing me, I'd go on the show
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and there would be no showmance and I'd be like,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: why am I here?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, trying to find the romance in it.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because my guy is not going on Big Brother.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: My guy is in a corporate tower somewhere.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's probably up in the big tower in Tampa,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: that big cylinder one.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's deep in an Excel spreadsheet somewhere.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: You know what? If somebody gets joy out of that,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: that's awesome.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I don't need him to get joy out of it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I just need him to make money.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Let's be real.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Okay well i'm sure he's out there i'll be his
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: joy oh my lord that sounds.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: He doesn't need joy in his life other than.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Me that's you know what does he need to do
• 5:11

  Speaker 1: When you're not there wow i'm so glad abby came
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: into my life i was so unhappy before her.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Gosh that's Maybe he's up in the cylinder right now
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: looking down, waiting upon his time.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: In fact, I hope his job is really miserable. Then
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: he'll be, like, even more excited to see me.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Speaking of that whole situation, is there any update on
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: your friend Taylor's situation with the ghosting that we covered yesterday?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: No, no update. No update. He just ghosted, which is
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: so weird.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Just gone out of nowhere and never going to be
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: heard again.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Completely gone.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: That sucks.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: So one of the things we talked about earlier, and
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I want to run by you, is I was talking
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: about this on the show. My car died yesterday. And
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: this was one of those things that's like, Not... Obviously,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: no expense is fun. But when you finally, like, clear out...
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: You know, I cleared out credit card debt. I finally
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: got caught up in bills. My renting situation works. And yesterday,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I was about to head to Tampa, and all of
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: a sudden, my car, like, the air starts getting really hot.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: The RPMs, like, it just revs up. It's not really
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: moving quick.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, there's no way I'm getting to Tampa.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And I have a good feeling that at the.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: By the time this episode gets released, I'm probably going
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: to be in the car market of looking for a
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: new car, which.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Have you talked to sales yet? Like, can they get
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you a deal somewhere?
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm about to do after this is set
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: something up because that.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Is not an expense that I was planning.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I was hoping to.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: And I guess I did say this, like I was
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: going to ride that car till it died. That was
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: the point.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: How long have you had it paid off?
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I gosh, since I mean years. It was it was
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: my mom's car. So I got it and got paid off.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: So it's been years. I've never really had a car payment.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: So you haven't had a car payment in a while.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I don't want one.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: In fact, you know what's so funny about your car
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: dying yesterday? I paid off my car yesterday.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, congratulations. Okay, you did say that earlier. I didn't
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: catch it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the circle of life.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I guess it's a really cool feeling because now you're like, wow,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I could save whatever that car payment was every single month.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but then you're going to go to the dealership
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and they're going to be like, oh, we see that
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: she paid it off. Let's jack up her price. You
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, I want to think so
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: little about my car. I don't want to take it
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to the shop. I just want it to take me
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: from point A to point B. I don't even want
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to get gas. Like, having a car is just the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: biggest thorn in my side.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: That's an interesting take. I mean, it's true, though.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: I think for a lot of us right now, it's
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: the one thing that we all need, but it's one
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: of the most expensive things we have.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: I was looking at insurance yesterday, and I kind of
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: just laughed to myself. I was like, we have insurance.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: We have to have insurance.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: How often?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess, you know, emergencies happen. But damn,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: that sucker's expensive.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I know. And you never use it.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: The whole car thing is such a racket. It really is.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I was joking earlier. I was like,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I want to get a horse. If I could get
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: a horse legitimately... I would take a horse.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: If anybody in Tampa was going to get a horse,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it would for sure be you.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine rolling up to the station?
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I can picture you on like a Segway.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: You actually want to know a crappy story about a Segway?
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I ran over somebody on a Segway.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: You ran over somebody on a Segway?
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: They have a Segway like tour that you can do
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: in Tampa. And so after like a training I did,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: this is so random, but we went out and we
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Segwayed around Tampa.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: And these segues, you lean forward, they haul ass. Yeah.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I've seen Paul Blart muck up.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Well, that was your boy around downtown Tampa. But the
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: tour guide, he had like a hurt leg. So he's
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: on like a scooter thing. And we're with the rest
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: of the group. There's like four of us. And some
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: people are a little bit older. And so they're going slower.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: But we got on one strip that was open runway.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: And I could floor it for just a second. It
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: was like my first time like, all right, let me
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: full throttle this son of a.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I full throttle it. The tour guide turns in front
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: of me and I run him right over with the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: sick way.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I felt so bad. But the dude literally turned out
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: of nowhere in front of me. And so he already
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: had a hurt leg. And then I run him over.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: His bike's on the ground. He's on the ground.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I feel like absolute crap because it's one of those
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: things where what is it? When your intrusive thoughts get
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: to you and you go for it. My intrusive thought
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: was I'm going to floor this thing.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: And I did.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And it ended up running over the tour guide.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Luckily, nothing bad happened. He was fine. No sue. No lawsuit.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: But that was my last and only ever moment on
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: a Segway.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: So no Segway for you.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: No Segway. I think I'm going to stick with the horse.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: But it is kind of exciting, though, because now I
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: get to go look at, like, what are the cars
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: that would be kind.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Of fun to drive? Yeah.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Do you have any in mind?
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: My dream car right now, I say it right now
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: because it could change, is like this. I'm curious what
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: your response is going to be like a Toyota Tacoma,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: like a nice.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Your dream car is a Tacoma?
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: You're going to say that.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: That's like saying my dream honeymoon destination is, I almost
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: said Key West, but Key West isn't bad. Like my dream,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: honeymoon is Fort Lauderdale.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: It doesn't sound that good.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, there's a beach, but, like, it's also Fort Lauderdale.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: There are some that look so cool.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Like, I would want it to have, like, beefier tires, like,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: a cooler cut, and, like, a nice interior.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Isn't that not even the biggest... Toyota?
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: No, it's not. I don't want like they have like
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: a Tundra, which is even bigger. I don't want the biggest.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: You don't want a Tundra?
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: No, I want the Tacoma looks badass.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Next, you're going to tell me that you want it
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: in bright blue.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, God, I would take it in bright blue. But
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: that would be like the car if I was to
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: splurge right now. It's not that bad. It looks cool,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: does it not? Can't you see me driving that?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You know what, I could. I mean, to be fair,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you do drive a Subaru right now, so really anything
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: is an upgrade from the lesbian mobile. Correct.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: And now that I have an SUV, like, I can't
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: go back to a car because it feels weird. Like,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: right now I'm in a Subaru Crosstrek, which is smaller,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: so it's kind of zippy or close to the ground.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: It's fun. Yeah. But now that I'm sampling it, I'm like,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: I can't have this. It's too small.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be that low to the ground.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: A truck is going to be really expensive gas mileage wise.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: That was also the thought.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: That's the other thing is when I lived in Atlanta,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I think I filled up my car every like three weeks.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Oh my God. Living here, I probably fill it up
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: twice a week.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Well, you also do the, have to drive across the
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: bridge every day.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That part gets to you. And I don't know why,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: cause it's not that far. It's probably like, I don't know,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: 14 miles.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's like 30 to 40 minutes depending
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: on when you're driving.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but those miles add up real quick. For sure.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: And so that's why my dream car would be the Tacoma.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think I'm going to go that route.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I'd probably go somewhere like either... My other option would
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: be like a Hyundai Santa Fe. Look up that, because
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I like those. They have like a matte color.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I wish you were going to choose a Hyundai.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: They look cool, and I'm always at the Hyundai dealerships
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: with work.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, now this one looks cool.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Right? You think that looks cooler than the... Tacoma?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I think it's just because it's so adjacent to what
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: you have now that it's less like, it's just funny
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: that you're choosing a Tacoma.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: My dad used to have a badass Tacoma.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Of course Steve did.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I think it's funny because everybody I know that wants
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: a truck, they have like BDE syndrome about having a truck.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: So they always want to get the biggest, lifted, most jacked.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Like my dad, every two years, finds some way to
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: beef up his truck. Damn.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Bigger and bigger.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Bigger, different color seats, heated steering, like all the bullshit.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And every time I see him, I'm like. is this
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: your car? He's like, yeah, I just got it. I'm like,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: didn't you just get one?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But it's probably the biggest and baddest. I'm not
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: going for the biggest and baddest. No, I know.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: But it's funny that you're not because every person I
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: know that drives a truck, they're constantly trying to figure
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: out how to make it bigger. Bigger, better, crazier, zoomier, louder, brighter.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: And you're like, um, can I get the Ford Ranger?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I would like the Ford Ranger.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I want the medium sized, you know, that looks quick.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: It looks sharp.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: It looks like a ninja. That's what I picture when
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: I look at the The Tacoma. I'm like, that thing's fierce.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Not you attaching racial stereotypes to your Tacoma.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Is that a racial stereotype?
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: You called it a ninja. Okay, like a fighter.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: A fighter. Somebody that's like fierce.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: My last option would be then going electric.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Hyundai Santa Fe. I, you know what? I feel like
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I've seen so much and listen, this is not a
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: political podcast. I'm not even really a political person, but
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I've seen so much about like the earth burning alive
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: because of all the emissions that I'm like, oh my God,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: we all need to go electric.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: And honestly, I said it to my dad yesterday on
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: the phone.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: I was like, right before my car took a doo
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: doo and it's now in the shop, I filled it
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: up and it cost me $ 65 to fill up.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: And I was like, So I wonder what the equivalent is.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: How much does it boost up your electric bill to charge?
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: That's a good question. My dad has an electric truck,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: but I don't know what it costs him. It's kind
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: of like he plugs it in every night. It almost
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: feels like you're just charging your phone. And there's a
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: system where it's just the same payment every month, he says,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: for his truck.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's for everybody's electric vehicle.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: But it's like a flat payment.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: He has a subscription so he can drive his car.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I don't know what it is.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: That's really funny.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: But this way it's not like, you know, if I
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: drive a lot, it's going to go higher. It's like, oh,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: every night I plug it in and it charges up.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Here's what would freak me out about a fully electric
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: car is I'm the kind of person that, like, I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: get surprised by my gas. mileage going ding ding ding
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: hey oh wait did i ever tell you about driving
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: back from miami and how i almost died because i
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: ran out of gas no i never told this story
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: what so do you remember like a month or two
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: ago i went to go see that five seconds of
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: summer concert in miami just a friend So, you know,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Alligator Alley.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right there. Nothing going on.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: If you have never been to South Florida, there is
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: one road that just goes from like Miami to the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: other side of Florida. And there's like when I tell
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: you there's no reception, there's no gas stations, there's no
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: fast food stations. So like you got to do everything
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: before you get on Alligator Alley. It's like you're the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: pioneer woman.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: So I was so stressed out leaving Miami because I
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: was driving in Miami and I What's so funny is
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I literally stopped to get food and I meant to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: get gas after I stopped to get food and I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: forgot the gas part. And so I'm driving down alligator
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: alley and I see that my car is about to
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: run out of gas. And I go, okay, well, surely
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: there's got to be a gas station somewhere within the vicinity.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: 26 miles. Can you imagine getting the light fuel, whatever
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: it's called.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: The check engine? Yeah, a little ding-ding warning.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Hey, you're about to run out of gas, and you
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: have 26 miles to go.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to make it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I absolutely thought I was going to be stuck on
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the side of the road in the blazing Florida sun.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I had turned off my air conditioning and all the things.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know how I made it. I got stuck
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: behind cars. I got stuck at stoplights. And then I—
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: When once you get to like a place where you
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: can get gas, it's not like, oh, you just pull
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: over to the side of the road and there's a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: gas station. I had to go somewhere. I had to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: drive like 10 miles. So like alligator alley, if I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: got stuck there, like that's one thing is there's so
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: many cars and there's so much police presence. I'm like,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I'll probably be fine.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll survive that.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: The problem is I drove 15 miles and then I
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: had to turn right onto this other side alley for
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: another 10 miles.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: In the middle of Florida.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: In the middle of Florida. There's nothing around. And then
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to make matters worse, as I'm driving, there's all these
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: signs that say Panther Crossing.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, Jesus.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And so I'm just thinking, like, I'm going to get
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: stuck on the side of the road. There's nobody out
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: here that's going to find me. There's no cell reception.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who to call. I'm like, can
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I get an Uber out here? I don't know what
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do. And so as I'm getting closer,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, can I walk two miles? Can I
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: walk a mile and a half? Like if I stop here,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: like if I need to walk to get gas, can
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I do that? I don't, by the grace of God,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know what saint was looking out for me,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: but I finally made it to a gas station in
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere. And finally, when I get to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: this gas station, I'm like, okay, let me tap to pay.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: And it like wouldn't let me pay.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: You're like, oh my God.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: So you had to use a physical card, but it
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: took me like four pumps to figure it out. And finally,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: like I've never felt so free. I finally got back
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: on the, on alligator alley. I was like, thank God.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I made it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I'm going to live.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I thought I was going to die. So anyway, all
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: that to say is I can't imagine being in that
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: situation and having no place to charge my car.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. If you'd run out of charge, it's because
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: that is the problem.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Like if you're going to take a big trip and
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: that's why my dad had a whole, so like so
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: much hesitation over the electric truck. Cause he's like, What
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: if I want to take a big road trip? What,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I got to plan out every station that actually has
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: an electric pump? Because not all of them do. You
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: got to go to like a Wawa.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Do you get car sick in electric vehicles? Like when
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: you go in your dad's car, do you get car sick?
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: No, is that a thing?
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a big thing. And I didn't find
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: this out until I moved to Atlanta because all the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Ubers are Teslas. Anytime you call an Uber, it's a Tesla.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Kind of like how you see a lot of Waymos
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: down here and it's all those BMWs. Anytime you call
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: an Uber, it's a Tesla. And the problem is Atlanta
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: is very hilly, twisty, and turny. And there is no
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: worse place to be than in the back of a
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Tesla in Atlanta because you're just going to get so
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: car sick.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I've never noticed that because I have a buddy that
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: has a Tesla. He loves it.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Everybody that went electric, they always say they love it.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: And nobody's ever told me that it came. Yeah, they
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: had their hesitations in the beginning, but once they got it,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: no problems at all.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: And I think the benefit is... Again, I guess I
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: got to see the cost because it's like you don't
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: got to do oil changes anymore. You don't got to
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: go to the pump every week. You just charge up
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: at home.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's other expenses. I'm sure Elon's screwing us somewhere. Well,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: that's why I might not go the Tesla route because
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. What are the other options? I don't know.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: They have electric Hyundais.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Electric vehicles.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Tampa. Tampa. Yeah, like I think everybody has an electric
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: vehicle now. Oh, yeah. But I think Tesla still does
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: it the best.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That's the part that kind of, all right. Do
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I just suck it up? And they do look nice. Like,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: that's the part that sucks. Like, Elon sometimes is a
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: little crazy.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: You gonna get a Cybertruck?
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Cybertrucks are a big deal in Atlanta. I've only seen
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: one or two since I've been here.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: They were big.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: When they first got released, it felt like I saw
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: everyone driving one. And then I think all that stuff
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: started happening and people were like, I don't want to
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: be seen driving that.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Like, there's a video. Did you see?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, gosh.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: You know the influencer Kat Stickler here?
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: She has a Tesla. I figured. And she, you know,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: she's like, I got it before all the drama. I'm sorry.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know. She's so funny.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I'm like, that's exactly how I'm feeling. I'm like, guys,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: it's just a really good car.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: She's always filming around Tampa.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I'm shocked.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen her yet.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised, too, especially if you, like, walk Bayshore.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'm not going to say where she lives,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: but I know she's in that vicinity.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but even, like, I think she does a lot
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: of filming there in general.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Like, I see her videos, and I'm like, or she'll
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: be out and about at, like, a normal restaurant, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: I'm like.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Have you seen her at a restaurant? No.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: I only, we brought her into the studio one time,
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: like right before she like pop popped.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Like she was on the rise. She came in, we
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: did a whole podcast interview. It was awesome.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: I've never seen her since. Not in the wild, not
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: at a game, not at a restaurant, but I also
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: don't do a lot of stuff in Tampa.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I'm going to delete something. Okay.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Um, I haven't seen, I mean, other than my run
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: in with the athletes, I still never see famous people
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: in the wild.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: It is fascinating. because I do see like some influencers
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: are like oh here's this celebrity or here's that.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Celebrity You know I did just see is you know
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: he's everywhere, but uh Titus Titus Titus O'Neil the wrestler no.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: See that maybe I just don't know enough famous people
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: like maybe I'm I've literally been sitting next to famous
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: people And I just haven't noticed you know what it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Is a lot of them are famous, but they have
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: like their uniform for example Like if we look at
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: a lot of like the lightning players, like extremely famous, but.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: They're always wearing a mask. And so we don't see.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, so true.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Or so many of the Tampa Bay Bucks players.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: The one that you would know is probably Baker because
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: everyone can recognize that face.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: He's been in the spotlight enough.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: But for the other ones, they just look like normal
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: dudes unless they're like really big.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you can just tell because they're just massive. Like
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I do a lot of walks out on DI where
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: all the athletes live. And I remember I was walking
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: past just like the most hodgepodge run club where I
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: could just tell it was all like the DI locals
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: because it was like. three massive linebackers, and then, like,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Cheryl and Gary, and they were all just doing a
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: little walk, and I was like, how do I get
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: on board with this run club? Like, this is so cute.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Like, how do you nonchalantly join? Like, oh, you guys
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: are doing a walk club. I don't know that you're famous,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: but you probably are.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I could just tell, like, because they were walking towards me,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and they were so big. Like, it was truly... like
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: a work of art watching these guys walk because they're
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: just so massive. And I'm like, oh, is this how
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: all the NFL players feel? You just see these massive
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: men coming at you?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: It has to be because those dudes are like the
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: linemen on the Bucs. It's not even like you're just, oh,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: you can't look past them.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: They're like 6'8. And 320 pounds. They're huge. They are
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: literal giants.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: And so when you see that, you're like, OK, you're
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: somebody famous.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: You know, it's the really hard one is like baseball
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: players because baseball players kind of look normal.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you a single race player. Yeah. And
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: they're really good this year.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: They're really good this year. And that's the thing. I
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: don't I can't either.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: I know they, I see all their highlights, but they don't,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know why, but they don't have the name
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: recognition unless you are extremely into baseball.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: You just like the Rays.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: It is funny. Why don't they have the same kind
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: of recognition?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: The Braves, there were at least a couple that I
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: could name. Like, I remember when I first moved to
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Atlanta and I was trying to make friends, I asked
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: some guy, I was like, so if I want to
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: like strike up conversations with dudes or other people here
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: at the Braves, like what's like a good conversation starter?
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: This was just like, Kind of became a joke because
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I would say it so much. Freddie Freeman had just
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: left to go play for the Dodgers, I think. And
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: so they'd be like, okay, your starter is, do you
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: think Matt Olsen is the new Freddie Freeman? And so
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I only knew those guys. And then there are a
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: couple obvious ones. I can't remember, but the Braves have
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: a bunch of famous people.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think what it is is because teams now
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: switch players so often, it's hard to have somebody that's
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: been there forever. Like even the Bucs player, Mike Evans, was...
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Somebody that was so recognizable. Everyone knew who that was.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Not with the team anymore. It's been here for like
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: a decade and more and now gone. So who takes
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: his place? And I think baseball is even worse. Like
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: you get players are so good and they're just like
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: every season bouncing around.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. How do you build brand loyalty when you
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: don't know the team?
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Unless you're way into the game and you're paying attention
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: to the roster.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: You don't know. The most players I know is actually
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: on the Lightning.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: No, same here.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't know.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I know one on the Bucs.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Who do you think is the best Tampa Bay sports team?
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Do we think it's the Lightning?
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, the Lightning.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Because I was watching all their interviews from the press
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: conferences that they were at. Was it yesterday or two
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: days before? I think it was two days ago.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Two days, yeah.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize. So they had the two Stanley Cups
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: back to back.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: But then the whole shtick for them is that they
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: can't get past the first round of the playoffs.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: We've been in a rut.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: And so I'm like, OK, so does that make us.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I thought we were really, really good.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're so good.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: They're so good.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Still really good.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I think it's like the amount of times that they've
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: been to the playoffs, but we're still riding that high
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: from the championships.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: I think it's because it's within the last decade.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: You're like, oh, yeah.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: And so I think when teams are getting like this,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: like you wait for that moment of like, oh, we're
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: about to be really good again. The problem is we
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: haven't made a run. since the last championship that we won.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I don't really know much about the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: logistics of hockey, even though I'm the logistician in our group.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, yes, you know the details.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: But I know they replaced somebody with some guy named
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: John Carlson. Oh, damn, I don't know that. Apparently that's
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: supposed to be good. Apparently? Who said that? I don't know,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the internet. But yeah, even if the Lightning weren't the
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: best team in our area, they're still entertaining to watch. Yes.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I think that's the thing. Like growing up, I was
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: never into hockey. Going to a game. I'm now I'm
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: very into hockey.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I'm locked in. And I think they're really good at entertaining.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Like I think they know they have sort of like
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: a WWE mindset where they know people be more invested
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: if it seems emotional. And that makes sense. Whereas like
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you one rivalry that the Bucks have.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: But I know that the lightning hates the panthers.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah and it's like it's thick And you can
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: tell when you watch You're like you guys hate each
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: other At least for now like you might be friends
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: outside of the ice But like when you play each
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: other Those games it's literally like a fight every minute.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Isn't that funny if they're just playing us We think
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: like oh they're so mad at each other they hate
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: each other And they're just like they have a group
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: chat We're gonna.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Start a fight four minutes in like just go balls
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: to the wall on it They might honestly but I
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: don't care It's entertaining And it makes I do love
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: it because it makes the fandom Just so strong Because
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: whoever wins like that side of the fans, you just
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: take alliance to it. You're like, all right, that's our team.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: We're stronger this year versus other years. They kick our ass.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: I love that rivalry, which I was never a fan
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: of fighting sports growing up.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Still, really, I'm not. But for some reason, I kind
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: of like when hockey fights.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a little off putting at first. And
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: then I was like, oh, this is just a part
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: of this chick.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like, it's part of the game.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: It's a shtick for them.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: And they've talked about this. It changes the momentum.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Like, that one game when, like, I don't know, our goalie, Vasileski,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: fought the other goalie.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Big cat. Big cat.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Rawr! Like, that's crazy.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: That's unheard of.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: But you let him box, and then it's like five
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: seconds in, it's done.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I also forget that, like, half of them are Russian. Oh, yeah.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And so Vasily's Russian. I was watching one of the
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: press interviews yesterday. a couple days ago, and they were
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: talking about, like, getting past the first round of the playoffs,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I'm going to butcher the accent. He
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: said to me, like, we just need the belief.
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: We just need the belief.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like, so true. Yeah, I know.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Just, like, preach over there, Vaz.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: We just need the belief.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: And I know that season starts in, like, two weeks,
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: which is going to be nice, but it's like we
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: said yesterday, like, you got to go talk to our
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: dude and get in.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: He's back in office. He's back in office today.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Go find a way to get into the locker room.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Bring us the the access that none of the other
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: stations are getting.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, I just wanted to go to a game.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, we're going to go to a game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: that's for sure.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I was watching the media day, and I was like,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: this is so boring. Someone asked them about their, like,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't put any thought to this,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: but I'm like, who's the other big guy?
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Cooch.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: They asked him and also sorry if you're like this
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: is a hockey podcast now going all in on sports now.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Our best player, his name is Nikita Kucherov. He's called
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: all the players are dumb.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Did he? Oh, I did see that.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: He said something like somebody asked him a question about like, oh,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: what do you think is different or worse this year?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know something about that. And he goes, the
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: game is just dumb. All these players are dumb.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I do think they want more entertaining questions.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Like those guys wild out. Like I think out of
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: some athletes are flashy. Like I'm saying, like other sports
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: are more flashy. Hockey is very bro. Like when they
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: won the championships and they're on stage, like they're literally
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: chugging beers. They're filling up the Stanley Cup, like pouring it.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: On their head. Like they're just wilding out like bros.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: They're just hanging out.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: And so I think they want more of those questions.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: That's why I feel like your questions would be way better.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: No, because then I'd probably get kicked out because it's
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: all these real journalists. And then I'd be in the
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: back like, kill fuck Mary. The Florida Panthers. The Atlanta
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Gladiators and the Nashville Predators. These are all like irrelevant teams,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I think. The Florida Panthers, the Philadelphia Flyers and the
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: New York Rangers.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: There you go. That would work.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I want to hear that.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: But I think they need that, though, because the whole
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: idea of the press is to get the word out.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: They don't care about what they're actually talking about. The
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: journalists are writing it up. That would get clicks and views.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: That's what they want.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I'm just trolling them in the back. I'll be like, okay,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: what do you think Thunderbug's favorite position is? On the ice,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: of course.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: On the ice, of course. On the ice, of course.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: That would be amazing. But then we could bring it
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: back to this. You could bring back that access. You
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: would probably be their most fun conversation. Because everything else
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: is so dry. Everything's like, how many ghouls do you
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: think you're going to get this season? I don't know.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: 30.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Like, they do this every year.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: There's a scene in Heated Rivalry where.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you're connecting that.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Of course, naturally. Um, yeah, I didn't care about hockey
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: until I saw heated rivalry. I'm like, maybe there's something
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: to this sports thing.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: You and most women.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Um, one of the characters, Shane was asked about like
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: what needs to change for his fictional team. And the
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: character Shane goes, well, it would really help if we
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: could just score some more fucking goals. I'm like, that
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: would literally be me as an athlete. I'm like, well,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: you know, if we like scored more.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: That would actually help the game.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: That would be great.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what I see a lot of the times
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: is it's tough. And I get that one. I think
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: athletes and coaches like, you You sign up for that.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: You're going to be asked questions that you just have
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: to answer. But sometimes they're just asked the most dumb,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: like unthought provoking questions that it's like. I wish it
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: was more entertaining, but I go back on that point
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: and I say, well, the sad thing is a lot
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: of athletes, they wouldn't be able to answer a more
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: thoughtful question.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Because they are so concussed.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Or as Cooch said, they're dumb. Yeah.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: They have low IQ.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. Yeah.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Like sometimes you talk to the athletes and you're like, oh,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: my God. Okay, I get it. All you think about
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: is sport. I play sport.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I have belief that we can play sport.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: We just play sport. And I'm like, hey, I love
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: that because I love the entertainment.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about this the other day because, you know.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: I remember growing up, I did have the dream of
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: like going in and playing football professionally.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: All right. I had that dream. Shut up. I had
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: the dream.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Were you the kicker? What was your position?
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: No, I played linebacker. I was like.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: You were a linebacker?
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: These responses.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: That's how I knew you grew up in Vero Beach, Florida.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: What do you mean? I'm just picturing you in like, um.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Like Miami in Broward County being a linebacker.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I work hard, Abby. That's what got me there.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: No, no, I'm not saying you didn't work hard. I'm
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: just saying you went to a white boy school.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. I would have
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: got my ass kicked in any bigger school.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: But as that dream, it slowly died because I was like, okay,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to grow past 5'8 and choose.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: And I literally, there's only so much I could weigh.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Whereas those other boys, they weigh.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Like 230, 240.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: They're huge. And they're like 6'2. And it's just no
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: matter how hard you fight, You will not win that battle. Yeah.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: So as that dream was going, I don't even know
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: what I was going with at this point. What were
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: we talking about?
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Isn't your whole shtick dare to dream? Yes. Why couldn't
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: you dare to dream to be an NFL player?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I did for a little bit.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I dared to dream.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: And then no real college scholarships came through.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Or like, I don't know, nobody was really watching me.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: And also, you know what? I could have tried to
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: walk on at USF. I would have got my ass kicked.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, for sure. You might have had a chance at USF.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: You could have been like a third stringer.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to just sit there and ride the bench.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: As somebody that never rode the bench.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but think about the bitches you would have gotten.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know how many.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I was so dumb as an 18-year-old. You could have
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: had any jersey on, and we were like, oh, I'm
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: dating a football player. He's so hot, he plays football.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: He plays football for USF.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: That was not the case. I did have a friend
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: that was on the team. But, okay, this is where
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: I was going with it. And this is also what
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: ties into the USF. You might get paid a lot,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: but you are literally that team's, like, I don't even
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: know the politically correct term would be, you are at
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: the mercy of anything they say. And I think about
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: that with the athletes I was watching at media day,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: where it's like, you could tell, like some of them
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: are like, I don't want to be here.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, because this isn't their shtick.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? That's like, I think sport.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I play sport.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I play sport. I have stick. I put puck and goal.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: What more do you want? They have to do everything now.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: It's like, you're going to go to this charity. You're
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: going to be at this event. You've got to be
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: at this practice. You've got to be at this speaking event.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: And that part, I don't know.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, the money's good, but damn, they have you
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: every second of every day, especially once the season starts.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I want to feel bad, but then you look at
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: their salaries.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Like, I think somebody on the practice squad for the Bucs,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: and this is a statistic I read maybe... a couple
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: of years ago. So this could be wrong. They make
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: like a quarter of a million dollars.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh my God.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. To be on the practice squad.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Not even playing the real game.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And every job has bullshit
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: that you don't want to do. Every job. Like think
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: about Taylor Swift. Even her job has bullshit she doesn't
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: want to do. Like she can't go to a Whole
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Foods or she has to sign all these. I mean,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: she doesn't have to sign CDs, but there's always bullshit
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: in a job. But you do kind of have to like, yeah,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like comes with a job. Same with
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: being a Bucks player or whatever. You got to go
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: to media games. media day you gotta answer the kill
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: fuck Mary question from the girl in the corner who
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: didn't even know hockey was a thing until six months
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: ago but.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: She's bringing clicks and she's bringing views and that means
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: people are buying tickets.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Get Vassie out on Bayshore could you imagine Vassie big
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: cat where are you taking a girl out on a
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: first date.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: Benchmark international she can watch watch me have belief watch
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: me believe on ice watching game I might fight for
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: her that would be so funny I wish they would
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: be able to do more things like that but I
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: do see that being a thing this season I don't
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: think you're just going to be going.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: To the games. I think they're going to try to
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: get you interviewing in the locker room.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, get me in front of Cooch. I'm going
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: to be like, who do you think is the dumbest
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: on this team? Wait, I really want to do that now.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know what?
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Next episode, I'm going to workshop unhinged questions for the Bucs, Lightning,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: and Rays. I have no questions for the Rays. They're just,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: you know, there.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Those guys, though, have swag. Like, you want to talk
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: to some guys that have swagger? The baseball team.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, baseball players are not as cute as the football players, though.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: What do you mean cute, though?
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: I think looks-wise, like, baseball players, I think, statistically, are
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: better looking than the other sports.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I'll be the judge of that.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Look at the roster. Were you ever into baseball players, though? Like, even, like, school?
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, boy.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: In college? In college, that's where they peak.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: College baseball players, hot. And then they go into the
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: major leagues, and I don't know if it's the drugs or.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: What?
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's see.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Look at the roster for.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I'm setting back women in sports years.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, everyone.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I'm the Sydney Sweeney of this podcast.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, Brian Baker.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Are you looking at the Rays?
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Cam Boozer.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: No.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, okay, and... Okay, wait. Hang on. Who's number 88?
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: 88's hot. He's going to be... 2002. Oh, God.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: That's okay to say. How old are you in 2002?
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: You're 24.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I was, that's a five-year, so he's 24?
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, I guess that's... That's okay, there's your cutoff.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I gotta, like, look at their ages before I say anything.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: That is the weird thing about sports, though. Like, you're
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: rooting for kids. Like, because they're now younger than us.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, Brody Hopkins, certified cutie. Griffin Jacks, he's cute. Kevin
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Kelly looks young. Oh, no, Kevin Kelly is my age. Oh.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Kevin Kelly's cute.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Florida comes with good-looking people.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, wait, these guys are actually objectively attractive. I take
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: this all back.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Nick Fortes, he's cute. I'm talking about somebody's husband. Okay,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I'll get out on the race. I'll find some good questions.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I'll be like, so, thoughts on the stadium movie? As
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: if I'm not the 400th person to ask them that question.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of annoying. It is kind of funny
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: driving in St.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Pete where you see all this land that they could
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: use to just redo the stadium.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: And they decide.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Why don't they just renovate the Trop? It's such a
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: good location.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: It's a great location.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: If you don't know what we're talking about, because half
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: of our audience lives in Atlanta.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, true.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: So you know how the Braves has a stadium way
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: out where, and they've created the battery around that. They're
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: going to do that by moving the Rays Stadium to Tampa.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: But the thing is, is the current Rays Stadium... is
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: in such a great location in downtown St.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Pete.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: It's in the middle of all these local bars and restaurants.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: So there's really no reason to move it except people
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: don't like the Trop because it's such an old, crusty stadium.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Which I talk to people about. I don't understand, like,
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: what is so bad about it?
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: It's a stadium.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: It has a roof. It has AC. There's stingrays. Good
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: food options. What's so bad about it?
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: It's really fine. It's just old. But, like, It's fine.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, what the heck? The Red Sox stadium is
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: like 3,000 years old.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Well, that's kind of historic. Like the big green wall.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I know. It's not Wrigley. What is it?
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: Fenway?
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Fenway, yeah. Fenway Park. Yeah, but that's old. I know.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: That's super old when it has a wall. That's why
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: it's so old. That doesn't make sense.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Well, this country, we do walls very well.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: I know. Oh, well, that was one of the things.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm happy for, I think it's the attendance.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I think people will go more if it's in Tampa.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Kind of a central location. So like. Brandon could go now.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Wesley Chapel could go now. Who cares? I don't know.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Move to South Tampa if you want to be close
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: to stuff. That's the shtick.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, be in the area for it. Somebody was asking
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: me yesterday.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: I had a friend in town because I was telling him, like,
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: I'm going to start looking probably for houses in the
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: next year. I would like to because if I'm going
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: to get a place and move out, am.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: I going to just go rent? Might as well look.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Well, you're renting now at a good spot.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know if I'll stay there forever. Like,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: it is small. It's a one bed, one bath. Like,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: even smaller than a traditional one bed, one bath.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Works for now, but I would like to start looking
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: in the next year, especially as a relationship blossoms.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Who knows?
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: But he was asking me like where I would live
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: and I would love to stay in the St. Pete
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: area because it's just beautiful. But I see why so
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: many people moved to Wesley Chapel or Lutes or even
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: farther Zephyr Hills because this area, you're going to pay
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: such a big price for such a casual little house.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: The real estate here does suck. It sucks. And I
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: can't say that about, it's not like the dating market,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: because when I was looking to buy a place in Atlanta,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I was like a kid in the candy store. Because
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the Atlanta real estate is so... pretty in such a
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: vibe like everything is sort of historic and cute and
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: curated like the places i was looking at oh my
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: god and i could afford them and not that i
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: was like rolling in it but i was like i
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: can afford this place yeah.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Like it's reasonable when you break down a monthly payment
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: for a mortgage you're like okay not bad.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: With the same budget the real estate here is so
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: horrible and same with the runner's market like i'm thrilled
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: that my parents have a place here Because all of
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: the apartments here are either $ 3, 600 a month or disgusting.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Or disgusting. That's the cutoff.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: You're either going to pay a price to live comfortably,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: but that price is going to make you very thin
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: on anything else you could spend.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Or you're going to deal with things breaking, roaches, AC busting,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: not in a safe part of the town.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Thin walls.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I could go back to an
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: apartment now, like the thin wall situation. I haven't lived
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: in an apartment apartment since... Oh my gosh. Probably since college.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: If I think about it.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: So I don't know if I could go back to
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: that lifestyle because I thought about it and remembered like
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: before I moved, it's like going to get a nice
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: place downtown.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: I'm glad I didn't go that route.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Because that does come with the whole hindrance of the
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: neighbors up top might be stomping away next door. It
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: might be loud and mooing in the middle of the night.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think I could go back to that. That's
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: why I'm thinking, shoot, I don't know. It would be
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: a year next May. I'd be in this place. I'd
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: probably want to start getting out by then. I don't
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: think I would be there another year.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: I would hope.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: My goal would be to have my own spot. But
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: it's just tough because the commute's great.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: St.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Pete's great. Just you can't find anything for a price
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: that actually works.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Unless we start bringing in buckets from all your interviews
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: at the Lightning and we can start bringing it to
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: the station.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: That makes our pay go higher.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: So if you were going to be a food item
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: in Tampa, would you be the Boulon Burger? Would you
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: be the Chill Bros ice cream or– A burned steak.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't be a Columbia salad.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Would you like to, would you be the 1905 salad?
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: Pick one.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: And why?
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Honestly, that's a better question though.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm kind of into it.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I am too. Go bring that up to Mike. That'd
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: actually be a better one. Anything before we go and.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: on to the weekend?
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: No, and this is getting posted on Monday.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: All right, so anything you go before we go?
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: No.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: No?
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:39
