  Speaker 2: So I know that we were reconnecting. So I want listener,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: what are your memories of me Mark as a kid?
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Well, I remember you before my dad lost his legs. Oh, no,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. True he found him later, are you yes?
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's like one of my biggest pet peeves.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: We're finding him later like all those if they find
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: these limbs later, I'm so peeved.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: So what were just like a narcissistic astle? But I
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: am a white male?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, but so what are your memories of me?
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: The last couple of times I were call seeing you?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: First off, we we went to the food court at
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the mall in downtown anybody's or.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: We had like cell phones. We had to take the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: bus down there too, which is crazy, you know.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: It was like flip phones or like those Nokia brick
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: phones and stuff like that. So we went there and
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: then we got food, and you got some burgers from
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: like the McDonald's there, and then you just apparently decided
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: that you didn't want these burgers anymore. So you took
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the burger, you opened it in half, you pulled out
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: your bleach blonde hair some of it and put it
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: in there, closed it and walked up and said, hey,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: there's hair in my burger. I would like a refund.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: The two Hispanic ladies at the counter with long black hair,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: were very confused and very concerned, but I think they
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: eventually did give you your refund. And then I vaguely
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: recall you walking down to like like the next like
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: two things over like whatever, the where you get like
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: an orange Julius, you know. And then there's another time
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: we were going down. We were downtown and you went
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: up to the ticket counter for the movie theater and
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: you knocked on the window and you were like you
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: looked at the lady, who's like, I'm in an emergency.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I really need your help. Can I use your phone?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: And the lady was a little concerned, but she's like yeah,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: So she slid her you know, old school brick phone
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: underneath the slit where you get tickets from, and you
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: just looked at her with the most sincere look in
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: your face, and you're like, thank you so much. And
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: then you just took it and decided that that phone
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: was your airplane for like five seconds, and you gave
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: it back to you and you're like thank you, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: we all walked away.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And it was so fucking funny, none of us.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: What you were doing that you just we walked it
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: and you went right there and you did this whole
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: stuff and we're just all sitting there like okay, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: then you did this and left and we none of
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: us were sure what to do. Really, just like all
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: right later.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I love that so much. Like, so you're pretty much
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: saying that as a child, I was still like this
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: humanitarian hero.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure it might have been, but as as a
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: teenager you were, no, not so much so asshole.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: So on Nuggets episodes, Oh, we like to just like
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: chit chat about what we are nostalgic for in general. So, Mark,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: what are you nostalgic.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: For your childhood that you kind of miss doing?
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Wilfred Brimley, That beats oh, man, I mean so many things.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: It was such a like I feel like I'm getting
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: older and older too because it's I'm looking back on
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: some of this stuff and like it was so much
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: simpler and so much more fun, and you know, like
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: you felt like you were a part of more things,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: which was funny because you really didn't have as much
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: access to stuff as we do today. Sure, but I
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: honestly felt like I understood more things then than I
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: do now. Heavy, right, but like just the ability to
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: have to find more things in life you'd walk up
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: to and you'd be so naive on how something worked,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: but you were so willing to commit to just going
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: headfirst into something like photography, you're writing music or playing
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: instruments or anything like that and just enjoying it more.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Whereas now you open up your phone with you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: the first couple of seconds of being like, I want
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: to try this new endeavor, and within a half hour
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: you realize like this is pointless, you know, so you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So you're kind of feeling moreristalgic just for and I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: like kind of in a way, kind of like the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: lack of knowledge to let you try something for the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: first time without knowing that anybody else has kind of done.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Is that what you're kind of saying? Yeah, yeah, that's heavy,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that's cool, Okay, I get that. Yeah, yeah, because I've
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: talked a few times about stuff like that before to us,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: like playing music, because back in the day, we didn't
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: have YouTube to like learn how to play music. So
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: when you learn how to play music, it's like magical
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and like you hear a song, you're like, oh, I
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: know what they're doing this time. Okay, we're talking about.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Also, I missed Beast Wars.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Oh the cartoons. Yes, dude, fucking Beastwards is one of
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: my favorite cartoons ever. And then for uh, so, what
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: my dad used to do when I was a kid.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You used to give me presents for like every holiday,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: but they were cheap presents. It's not like I was
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: like rich. But he got me a p is it
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: one time for I think it was like Thanksgiving or
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: it was something like that. I can't remember. But also
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: my dad wasn't living in the other time. But anyways, uh,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: he gave me a beast Wars doll one time and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I got it and I it was like, I can't remember.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I think it was the rat. I can't remember his name.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: But we opened it and then we couldn't figure out
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: how to make it the rat against and my dad
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: tried to help, my mom tried to help. I tried
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to figure it out. We couldn't figure it out, so
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: we ended up taking it back.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Did hair on it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: First, Yeah, we put some blonde hair on it, put
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it back, but no, we couldn't figure out how to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: actually make the toy work. So we took it back
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and got our money back because it was a Transformer.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: So I'm okay, So you am I should I be
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: giving you presents for Thanksgiving?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't happening because I'm native.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but is that you got presence on Thanksgiving?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Oh? Well only when my dad didn't live with us.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So he was like trying to be like
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: super cool. But if you want to give me a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: present for thanks oh, I will definitely do that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: That's like reparations.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: It's giving him blankets.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And what about you, Jeff, what are you?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: No? I'm nostalgic, and this is going to tug at
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the heartstrings of every listener listening, all ten of you.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: From the moment before this asshole walked in here.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So I am nostalgic for the days of yesteryear when
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: we used to watch movies together and we used to
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: go to the Blockbuster or the Hollywood Video, pick out
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: a movie, have it be just a whole spectacle, and
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: we would actually watch the whole movie. And fast forward
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: to today my asshole child, which I love him, but
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: he if he's not interested in a movie, even if
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: we are interested in it, he'll change it after we've
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: already got hooked to it, or what he has recently
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: started doing. When he's tired, he will go like get
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: all of his gatherings from the living room and turn
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: off the TV. We're still watching the movie. You're like, yeah,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: it's time for bed. So I just missed the times
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: where we would make the big popcorn. We would do
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: like the if it was called like the Baker's yeast
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: or whatever, and sprinkle that on there and just like
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: just have it be like a thing. Even if the
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: movie wasn't like five star, we would watch it and
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: enjoy it and have fun with it, and it was
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: just like a thing that we did. But nowadays, with
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: like social media and everything, we're all like watching the
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: movie and then we're all like strolling on our phones
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: or looking our beans or whatever.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Or like you would like to touch on that yeaheah,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Like I remember that same kind of thing. You go
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: to the movie or the the you know, home or
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Hollywood Video or Blockbust, whatever, and you'd pan through all
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: the things that go up a day on the aisles
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: and look at stuff. You'd get to the point where
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: maybe you had like three or four things, and at
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: this point and it's like, well, we can only get
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: one or two. So now you're like really thinking about, like, oh,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: which one do I really want to watch which one
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: like speaks to me or which one might you know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: change the mood for the weekend. Now it's like, oh,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I really want to watch this show, and so I
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: find well, who's streaming it? They're streaming it. Click five
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: seconds into it, I'm like, eh, I'm over it because
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: it's just I know I can go and get it
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: whenever I want. Yeah, and if I don't like it,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: there's a billion other things right in front of it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: There's so much.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: It's like what you're saying, I feel like it really
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: ties into what I was saying. It's just like the
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: ability to enjoy what's right there, you know, I feel
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: like we take that for granted now.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Like growing up, like my dad had this thing. He
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: always called it the twenty minute rule. So we started
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: watching a movie and then within twenty minutes, if we're
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: not feeling like hooked, you'd be like, how's everybody feeling
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: about this movie? Right around the twenty minute mark? Are
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: we digging it or we're not digging it? Because if
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: we're not digging this is like when I was like,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you know, twelve thirteen, you know, like before it was
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: easily accessible for movies, but he still had that thing, like,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you know, twenty minutes this because I feel like, if
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you're not hooked in the movie in the first twenty minutes,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: it's probably not going to be that great. Yes, of
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: course there's probably one offs to where you have to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: eight for forty five minutes an hour to finally get it.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: But if it's a good director, a good writer, a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: good screenplay, you know whatever, you should be interested and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: excited for the for the movie within the first twenty minutes.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: So growing up, I still do this.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I'm like, in the first twenty minutes are we are
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: we feeling it? How are we feeling? Are we interested?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: And if we're not interested in the first twenty minutes,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: then I'm gonna cut it off.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And like that's like back to like the movies that
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: really catch you at the beginning. One of them that
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: comes to mind screened the original Drew Barrymore getting Getting killed,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: fucking five star. I cannot stand Drew Barrymore. I hope
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: she died.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I hate her.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Drew Barrymore. If you're listening, fuck you, fuck you j Yeah,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: you're the word hate her?
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Do you look like some fucking voice?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah? You like hammered dog shit.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: You should have not married Tom Green.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: That doesn't marry Tom Green.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: She did? You know, I just watched that Tom Green
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: documentary and guess what, it's.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Not very good.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: He's a documentary.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: It came out literally yesterday on the twenty fourth. This
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: is coming out mid February. But he also was the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: one who did it, which is fine. But the thing
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I hate about, like the whole Tom Green documentary, which
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I did enjoy Tom Green when I was a kid. Whatever,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: it's fine, but the thing I disliked about it is
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: like so many people going like Tom Green was a genius. Yeah,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I guess in a way, but see, thank you, I don't.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: It's the same thing with like gg Allen. I fucking
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: hate gg Allen. He made shitty music, He was a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: racist piece of shit. Just because he ate shit on
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: stage doesn't make him a genius. Do you know who
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: gig Allen is?
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: No, he ate actual poop.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a punk dude that like he was all anyways,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: shitty music whatever, so anyway.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Divine ate poop way before everybody else. So, but you

• 11:48
  Speaker 2: of faggots, like Tom Green, pee wee Herman just came

• 13:18
  Speaker 3: for like the first couple of days, like I'm going

  Speaker 3: you know, a binder and be like, that's a cool binder.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: And every year no one said anything to me, ever.

• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I got a cool binder, I got some cool pants.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: But they literally didn't say anything to me, Like even
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: during roll call, they would just skip.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Well, it's because you were the bottom mark.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Did you mark? Did you decorate your did you decorate

• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the plastic flads that regular? Yeah?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I did the whole let's get it, because I didn't
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: know that was the thing until I was like six
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: or seventh grade, probably when I was in elementary school,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: all my ship was like fucking hot Wheels and dumb
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: shit like that. And then when I remember, I was
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: in fifth grade, I had a Hot Wheels notebook and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: that's when like the cool like cooler kids had like
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the ones where you put pictures in, and I was
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: so fucking jealous. I was like, I didn't know. I
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: didn't know about this what that was.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: It was like a big sixth grade thing for me.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: And yeah, like when seventh grade rolled around, that's when
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: like what was it like five star or whatever? Have
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: the zip up cloth binder or whatever.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Do you guys remember like the girls in school that
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: would do like the Playboy bun the stuff. You're way like,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: you're way too young to be going down this path. Yeah, yeah,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: but do.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: You guys remember, Like I remember one of my fits.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: It was like my outfits I was going in sixth grade.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna look super fucking cool. It's
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: brand new geans like dark blue, yeah, white shoes, and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I had this button up red kind of it was
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: like a it was like a button up shirt. It's
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: not polo, it's not what's that called?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Like Henley but.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Like kind of but it was like a thin shirt.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: But what's that called when you're like a tree cutter lumberjack? Yeah,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: it was kind of that thing, but it was like
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: a thin one of the what's that called? Was like
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: square lines flannel? Yeah, it was a thin flannel, short
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: sleeve and it was red and I had a white
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: shirt underneath it with dark blue jeans and white pants.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: And I was going in my very first day of sixth.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Grade jeans and white pants.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, dark blue jeans, a white undershirt, a
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: red short sleeved flannel, and white shoes. I remember I
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: was walking in. In my head, I was like, just
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: like you said, I was like, damn, dude, I'm about
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to get all these you were you were.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Really leaning into your carpet Manchine Rosio Donald face.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: So I was gonna say, I was gonna say, think
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: of the imagine what he's saying he's wearing. How is
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: that not exactly like the father from that Dinosaur TV?
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, yeah, dinosaurs or that God damn, I.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Want to be that guy at all. I like, so,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: what was I want to have a question for? Yeah,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: what was the word like you look back on and
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: you're like, why in the fuck did I let myself
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: go out of the house looking like that? What was
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: that fit? To have it in my head? I have
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: it in my head, and honestly, like if you think
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: for me, the thing that pisses me off my mind
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: is like if you just lay it out, you're like,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: that doesn't seem so bad, but then when you put
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: it on me, you're like, that's a mistake.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I want to go first because I kind don't hear
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: yours last. I feel like your's gonna be the best,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: so I actually, to me personally, I feel like I
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: was actually are you talking about?
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Like like you put on a look and back then
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: you were like, I looking awesome, And if you saw
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you today, back then he'd be like, you're a dork.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't choose this, but I went to to an
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: aquarium and my dad was like, it's gonna be cold there,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: so you have to wear sweats. And I did not
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: want to wear sweats, but I had to. But that
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: wasn't my choice. If we're talking about my choice. Honestly,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I've always felt like I always wear jeans, like a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: black T shirt. Other than that sixth grade thing, which
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I did look fine in it.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I honestly think I've been okay with what I wear
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: my whole life. So I don't have one specifically because
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I like jeans, a band T shirt. That's what I wrote.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: You go.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I went through a phase early on, maybe sixth seventh
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: grade around there where dragons started to appear on my shirt.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: You remember that face a little bit.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: We're like, oh, okay, I never had dragons. Dragon started
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: to And I remember going shopping with my dad right
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: before school, and I was like, this is such a
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: good shirt.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Dad was like, you're right, so you should have that
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: dragon shirt.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: My dad was such a bully to me, which I
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: appreciate my dad.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I did want to get a fat Bastard shirt one
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: time and my dad because I've always been overweight, and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: my dad goes, I was about to go into middle
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: school and I wanted from Austin Powers the fat basket.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: And then I goes, you know what, maybe you shouldn't
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: get that. He didn't tell me why, But now that
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I'm a dog, I'm like, oh, because it would have
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: been too easy, you know what I mean?
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Do you remember that brand I heard it was called,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: but it was like a big dog, kind of like
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: baitopin kind of.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's called big dog. I had some big dogs.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I remember my favorite shirt growing up was one of
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: those dogs, but he was dressed as a gesture. And
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: my cousin Ryan, Fuck you Ryan. But my my cousin
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Ryan threw a well Wear's Waldo book at me and
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: it cut my ear almost Oh my god, and it
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: bled all over my big dog shirt.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Here's any pictures of you in that dragon?
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm sure I have dragon shirts, so if I
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: find them, we'll put them on our Infagram. So okay, yeah, I.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Think like the one. Honestly, the two, uh, the one,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I think that I probably hated the most looking back
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: on it, as I would wear like blue jeans whatever
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: off brand, you know, van shoes that you could get,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: and then I had this thing that I couldn't stop.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: I would wear a white shirt and then a short
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: sleep button up orange shirt over that, and I thought
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: that that blue and orange combo was the best fucking
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: thing in the world. So, I mean, any one of
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: those pieces, honestly on their own, are put on the
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: correct frame, would probably look pretty good. But when you
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: do it the way I was doing it. It was
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: a slightly oversized shirt, unbuttoned because you thought you were
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: gonna be like cast in Brink.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Two, you know what I mean.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: So that was a horrible idea. But then we'll share
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: on top, I would tap. I would cap it with
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: a ball cap that was blue with a yellow brim,
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: you know, bill on the top, and then it was
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: like bright green underneath. And it was just a fucking disaster.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: And I wore that ship. I would wash that every day.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I'd be like, end of the day, gonna wash my shirt,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Gonna iron it the way I was taught iron so
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: it looks fresh, get between the buttons, lay it out.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I'm going to school tomorrow looking like that. But I
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: wore the same ship repeatedly for weeks, and not only
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: the like did I think this was great? I don't
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: know why. No one walked up to me and like, hey, man,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: do you need more?
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: You had a really nice hairstyle, I did, Yeah.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Did you have a mullet?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: No?
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: I had the bulliest of bowl cuts.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was so much of a bowl cut, like
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: so pristine, it couldn't have been any more of a bulk.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: The only thing between me and a fat uh what
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: was that guy's name, Corey Sawar whatever his name was,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: and saw off was I would instead of straight down
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: the middle parting it, I would part it slightly to
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: the left. That was it. But I was like, I
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: look cool, man, I'm so ready. Don't I look like
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: I was pulled out a little giants? And unfortunately, yeah
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: I did. But as like that guy everyone pissed on
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: before the actual movie started, So there's that look. And
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: then in middle school, like later in middle school, I
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: was addicted to this film.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Do I love?
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Andy showed it to me so and I was like,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: that's such and they looked like fucking hard to ask,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: some motherfuckers, and so, dope, I'm gonna look like that.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: So you can get black dickies from the store. You
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: can get a black tie, you can get a black
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: button up shirt. If you don't know what sizes mean, though,
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: you're gonna look dumb. And then when you have a gut,
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: you don't tuck in your shirt because otherwise your gut
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: hangs out. So I would wear this big, huge white
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: shirt and I'd roll up the sleeves because I got uncomfortable.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: And then I would leave it untucked because I didn't
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: want anyone to make fun of me for being fat,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: So wearing a big white shirt is going to help that, right, Yeah,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: And then I would wear the tie, but I don't
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: like things really tight around my neck, so it would
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: be a little loose. I also didn't have like cool
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: slicked back hair nothing back then. No, no, no, I
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: had hair that was like down past my shoulders. So
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: I'm walking around like just looking like that in big
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: dicky black pants and a big white shirt with this
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: like thin, thin, loose black tie. And then I never
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: could get the jacket part, so it was either a
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: for a while it was just a black hoodie. But
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: then at one point Andy's dad gave me a leather
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: coat that he didn't want anymore.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, I forgot, and it was a biker jacket.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Now alone, not a bad look, but his dad didn't
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: like the little cuff things on the shoulders, yeah, so
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: he cut those off, so I just had the rivet
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: for where the button part was. He took the belt
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: to keep it for his pants, and then he did
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: something else, so it was missing pieces. And then on
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: top of that, it was quote unquote designer, so it
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: was just a bunch of pieces of hide sewed together
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: and you could see all the seams everywhere. So it
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: was like someone couldn't afford one piece of skin, but
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: they could. They were able to cobble together like eighty
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: pieces of skin from a couple of cows, you know
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: what I mean. So it just it looked horrible. And
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: then I walked around like what's up, guys? But then
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: like I run hot too, Yeah, why the fuck would
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: I think wearing a big, thick leather jacket was gonna
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: look good? And then what shows water the best white? Yeah,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: you go to a wet T shirt contest. It's not
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: like you're showing up in magenta or you know, like
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: awkward or something like that. No, it's a white T shirt.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it was a mess. And I still was
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: committed to that look. I multiple shirts though I wasn't
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: doing the same thing, but still like.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And I was like, this is a great idea, so
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: really quick though, my dad did buy that jacket in
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Canada and like a high class thing because he was
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: drunk and looked whatever. My second thing is, this is
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: right around the time when Avri Levine was getting really big,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Mark rocking that shit looking like a huge Avri Levine
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: fan with like a weird dude. I love you Mark, No.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Great, really cook Mark? So how long have you been
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: with with your with your wife.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Like over ten years over?
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: What was your.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Fashion sense in style when you got when you met her?
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Did you not just hear what he said about the
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Resados thing is that that's what your style was?
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Did you happen together back then?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Now, by the time I hit like, I want to
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: say nineteen, I really started to seventeen to nineteen, I
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: started to dissolve into what I am today, which is
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: really like a blue jeans, shoes that don't really you know,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: pull anyone's attention, a flat shirt or like a button
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: up shirt, and then just like here's a coat to
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: keep warm and a hat. Really like I went like, yeah,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I went from like Levine whatever he was saying, to like,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: you know, suburban dad look just almost like it Like
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: there was a there was a slight transition of like
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: you started to see a little bit of that cowboy
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: come out. Yeah, because I did. I still have a
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: like a nineteen seventy five truck, you know, like an
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: old truck. And then I really liked the flannel and
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I had like the what was it, the pearl snaps.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I still love those kind of shirts.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: But I did that for a little while, and I
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: grew out my beard, Like I cut my hair because I,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: like I said, had long hair, and then literally I
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: cut it, and then I was like, this isn't right,
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: and then I just quit shaving. So it was just
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: as if I was never able to have I couldn't
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: go with a life with just the normal amount of hair.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: I had to have an excess amount of hair somewhere.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: So I changed it from my head, like the top
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: of my head to the bottom of my head.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Do you ever find yourself almost relapsing.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Into that kind of fashion, Yeah, our long.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Hair into like it like long hair, the fashion of
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: yester year, like getting out of like the the uniform.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Kind of sort of like I haven't really gone for
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: it yet, but I have been, like I really feel
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: like I'm, you know, a year's worth of good workouts
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: and a little bit of more fashion sense away from
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: like delving into like a like a Madman era, Like, oh,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have on hand a couple of different suits
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: and you know, ties and overcoats and the true door
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: hat like the wide brim, you.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Know, like, yeah, wait, you have a door hat.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: No almost, but like the but not like the little
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: like when that's not really door for what it's called,
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: but more like the Indiana Jones style.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you have those on the bowld.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not that far away.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: From that because the three of us we're we're almost
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: to the point of our middle middle aged crisis coming
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: to board, Like we're almost there. So I'm really excited
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: to see what the middle aged crisis.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: We're going to have to get some fucking Nike what
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: air Mac what are what are the dad Nikes?
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I'm about to get those new balances.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Deal and I told each other when we hit third
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: and nine, we're both getting those. That's all we're gonna wrong.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I want to see what the jeorts are about, like
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: the jean shorts, oh georts, Yeah, I want to see
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: what that's about, George yeah, oh yeah. And maybe doing
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: like a one earring piercing like Harrison Wards.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: So one of my buddies, I don't know why, but
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: for multiple not every year, I should start doing it
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: every year by buddy beans, Brian Reese if you're listening,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: but for his like twenty third birthday, I gave him jeorts,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and then for like his like twenty seventh birthday, I
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: did it. And every couple of years, I'll just give
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: him a pair of jeorts, which I find super fucking funny.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: But now I'm thinking about it, I should start doing
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: that every year. Could you imagine him getting because like
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the first year I gave it to him, he opened
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: him up and he's so sweet. He was like, oh,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: thank you so much, but he was probably like what
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the fuck, Like.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: What the fuck if you do that? Can you make it?
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: So every year they get progressively tighter, right just to
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: the point where it's like, what is the other like
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: the jeans with their spandex janks.
