• 1:18
  Speaker 3: don't know what is going on. I'm not sure if
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: it's like a mental thing or maybe just because like
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: every single day the news is just some catastrophic event
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: where I feel like I'm spiraling and I can't focus
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: on anything, or maybe my life is just so mundane
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: that it's this day to day that I'm like losing it.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Oh so no, I totally get that, Like I get that,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: like that you were saying earlier, like you blink, you're
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: in bed, you blink you're at work. Like I totally
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: get that. And that's not fun. I've been kind of
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: just manic, as you pointed out a couple of weeks ago.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: But uh, but no, mundane is good. Sometimes is like
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: sometimes nothing is good. Nothing is not something, something's not nothing.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I decided to you no longer volunteer at the
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Elson norm taking a little break.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Oh nice.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: So I'm just gonna try to focus a little bit
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: more on me. I'm not going to try to have
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: as many, you know, activities going on in my life
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: because sometimes I feel like so much shit going on
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: it's like too much, and you start getting I mean,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I can't even imagine with you so much going on
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: all the time.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm always to the point of break. But when
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I went to go see a fleetmand Mac cover band
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: at the elsinor recently, I was talking to one of

• 2:39
  Speaker 2: picture of you. And then she was like, no, I
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: don't know him.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: She's probably a different team. Yeah, they have like five
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: different teams. They're like no.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Listen, Like if she did know you, what would that
• 2:48

  Speaker 2: Basketball. It's been one of the best experiences in my life.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: And we had regionals and my team won gold. It
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: was so beautiful and it was amazing, and one team,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the coaches didn't evaluate them properly and they were clearly
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: in the wrong bracket and even though we had an
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: easy win on them, the sportsmanship was so beautiful, like
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: my team like pulled back like no easy steals, no
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: double teamy, No that's you know that kind of thing.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It was fucking amazing. And then a while ago I

• 4:43
  Speaker 2: If you want to support Special Olympics, here's a few
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: ways to do it. You can go to the Special
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Olympics website and read up about how to help financially,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: like monetarily or just as a social like changing you know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: words that you might say and behaviors and stereotypes. Uh.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: You can also go to our show notes or on
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: all of our social media's and you can either sponsor
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: an athlete for a season, which would be super freaking rad.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: You get an awesome plaque with a team photo, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: if you're a business, there's some photos for marketing and
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: also click we'll link in our bio two for an
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: art raffle that we're doing.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: So since you guys won regionals, do you continue Like
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: does it go to like state state and.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: So right now in order it depends on the on
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the state and their resources and that kind of thing.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: So we're done for this season because we don't currently
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: have a state in Oregon for basketball, so right now
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: we are the top basketballs. Yeah, so that was super
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: freaking awesome.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Between that and me being the second best Tony Hawk
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: pro skater one player in the Lab of Value.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: We're like the best.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Amen. Amen, what do you have for your news today?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: So this news actually is also kind of a little
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: bit of a nugget, but mainly a news thing.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: So growing up, do you remember how cool toys are?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Us was, Yeah, I got some.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Bad new astoria. Oh they went bankrupt.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I know, I know it was a few years ago,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: but I was like curious one, Like, so, I've been
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: doing a lot of research recently on like companies. I
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: don't know why, just because I've been bored about why
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: they got out of business. So I wanted to break
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: down a little bit on why toys was a toy story,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: why toys or rust went out of business. Yeah, so
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: essentially you can boil it down to Amazon and Walmart
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: basically the whole thing, but it gets a little bit
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: more in depth than that.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: So and I have my notes.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Actually, so I believe it was in two thousand and
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: eight they decided to not be public anymore and they
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: went to a private company.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: That's a red flag, yeah exactly.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: But when they went private, what's it called a investment
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: company bought out the company, right, but they they bought
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: it for six point six billion dollars, but they didn't
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: have six point six billion dollars all at one time.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: So what they did was they did something called a
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: leverage buyout, and what that is is they put basically
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: all of the debt that Toys r Us already had
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: within that six two point six billion, and they had
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to pay the debt off while they're still operating the company.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: But with that much money and that much debt, it
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: comes a shit ton of interest. So every month they
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: were or every year, they're paying hundreds of millions of
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: dollars just an interest on that debt that they already had.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: So in two it was two thousand and five, that's
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: when the group bought it. It was called Bain Capital KKK
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: or okay, Bain Capital KKR and Vernado Realty Trust.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And so when they.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Bought that, think about trying to let's say it was
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: like three like companies doing a RaSE. Right, So you
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: have Amazon, you have Walmart, and you have Toys r US.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: And Toys r US has a backpack full of bricks,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: and that's that debt that they have. So even let's
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: say they were able to sell more toys than Amazon
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: and Walmart, they're gonna be they're not gonna go They're
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: not gonna go as far because they have all that
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: debt that they have to pay off. So one of
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: the biggest things was their their stores were so fucking big,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and it took so much to keep them afloat that
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: that was a big waste. They couldn't make toys cheap
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: enough to you know, compete with Amazon and Walmart, and
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: people were buying stuff online and they like kind of
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: like for some reason, they were refusing to do an
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: online like shopping thing. Really they should have really focused
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: on them, but they were like, no, people want to
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: go to the stores, which isn't true.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: No.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: They didn't restructure their business. They didn't improve any operations.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: But essentially the biggest thing was the debt payments. And
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: it all started when Amazon was getting really big. So yeah,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: it's just it sucks. They're basically out of business now.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Them going to private instead of public really fucked them over.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I just was thinking about how should you in twenty
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: eighteen is basically when all the doors like basically closed,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: the lights went out, the giraffe was put down.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey the Diraft too, the company that loan them all
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: that fucking money. They knew that Toys r Us was
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: not going to turn around. They knew that their profit
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: was going to be fucking over this company, Oh for sure. Yeah.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And a lot of people think too, I had
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: to do because they did have so like the company
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: that bottom they're like, well, let's try to run if
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: we can't run it. But they can do is sell
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: all of that land basically because we think how many stores. Yeah,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: they could sell that land to try to make up
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: for and everything, but essentially they went out of business
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: and nobody even thinks about Toys r Us anymore.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: And those buildings probably didn't get a bunch of maintenance
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: done on them during when they were open, because he's
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: gonna be like, oh, we need to spend fifty thousand
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: dollars to repair this roof. So they probably it's like
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: that GC Pennies in Salem Morgan that's just been sitting
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: there because investors come in and they're like, there's too
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: much work, it's not worth the investment exactly. Yeah, So
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: fuck yeah, And I agree, like nobody wants like back
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: in like the nineties when we had nothing to do,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: like our parents would be like, yeah, let's go toys
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: US pick out a toy. People nowadays are smarter like
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: parents nowadays are smarter like I don't want to make
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: a separate drive all the way to Toys r US
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: for you to get some like thirteen dollars toy that
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: you're just gonna lose a piece of it or you're
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: gonna hit your sister with.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: And basically with smartphones and tablets, a lot of kids
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: aren't even playing with towards them anymore.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, So.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Here's what I was thinking, are some ways that we
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: could bring back the toy industry. So one of them
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I think is again merch. So getting action figures of
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Jeff and Andy.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: That'd be fun.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I think that would be really cool because people could
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: play with us. They'd be like, uh, you, the Andy
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: toy be like cheap trick, cheap trick, and then the
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Jeff one will be like some obscure celebrity that I
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: fucking hate. So like it would be. It'd be such
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: a good game and we can play. I want them
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: big enough that we can play with the barbies.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Too, Oh sure, yeah, and uh for the accessories, we
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: could both have additional right hands.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: That are doing different things. What do you mean?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I just because like the jerk off.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Oh oh that's a deep guy.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: What other accessors would we have? I would have a
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: gus gust that that would be extra. It wouldn't come
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: with the all. It would be like a separate price.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: What would yours? Would be baseball caps ones probably had
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: it might be probably Pakismo, tabloid magazines. There's a little
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: technic yeah there' would be a little tech deck would
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: be so good, a little diet doctor pepper, yep, that
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: would be good. Start surfboard.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: They could have like the ultra ones of us. So
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: like for the but for the butcher boy in your life,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: you can get a Jeff that comes with like uh
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: what football outfit? And then the anti one could come
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: with like the four members other members of otown like
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know, like like we can.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Have like space versions of and everything, like cowboy versions.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: So the the gay version of you is joining otown.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Like that's that's that's what I think. If Andy was gay,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: he would be in a boy band.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I would be in that specific a one.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought up the football thing because one
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: thing fucking irritates me I don't know why, and I've
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: just I thought about.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: It like a week ago.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: When people call it sports ball, I get it, you're
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: not a sports fan, but I'm like, you're telling me
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: that if somebody put a football on a table and
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: a basketball on table and they go, which is.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: What you be?
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't fucking know. What do you mean?
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: You don't fucking know why say that a lot? Yeah,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I hear sports ball all the time when they're like
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: trying to imply that they're not in sports.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not in a sports I get it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: But I'm like, I don't know how, like, especially living
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: in America, to not know what a football is, there's
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: no way, Like it just drives me.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: It's like I hate it so much. Just call the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: fucking football. We get it.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: You don't have to just just by saying you know
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: what football is doesn't mean like you're.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: A fan, you know what I mean? I don't know.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I like to say when I see a soccer, I
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: like to just call that a football, and people like
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: that's a soccer jab. I'm like, in overseas, it's actually
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: a football, Like it could just sound like super cool.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: I think actually England originally came up with the term sucker,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: but like they have.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: That gl mouth. So then then it came out football,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Like is that what I like? That's how the names
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: got mixed because people could understand them.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah they're like football. Yeah yeah, Okay, that was the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: breaking news story shut down shut down in twenty eighteen.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Another idea to to regenerate, you know, bring back the
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: toy industry is look into like finding witches that can
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: do spells on the toys to make them like toy story.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Oh there we because if I was a kid even now,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I would buy a toy if it came to life.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like that'd be such like so much pressure.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, Indian in a cupboard.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah he's a rapper, I guess now.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I haven't listened to it, but.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: He mentions his his I feel like.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: You'd have to have to mention that you're the Indian
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: in the cupboard.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Okay. So my breaking news is just everything with Justin
• 14:04

  Speaker 1: I just saw like two days ago.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: It makes me so happy, So like listener, find it
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: on YouTube or TikTok or whatever. And but I love
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: when he gets pulled over and they're like, where are
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: you going? Where are you doing? And he's like stumbling,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: and he's like, I don't know how to say a
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: world tour. And I'm like what he was? The cop
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: was saying like, where are you off to tonight? Not
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: are you doing a world tour? No, And and then
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: he said something he was like, I'm justin Timberleak. He's like,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: you're justin Timberlake. You have an ID, like it's so good.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: And then when he's getting booked, like at the police station,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: he's like, you guys are treating me like a criminal.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: And then they're like you got arrested for d uy.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: So it sounded like in a cute way, but but
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: what do you think of it? Like what did you think?
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I think anybody, especially at that level of fame,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: why are you drinking and driving?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: You have enough money to not only rent an uber,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: but you could write like a limb. I mean there's
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: literally even if you're at the bar and you were
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: just hanging out with people or wherever, you could be
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: like everybody knows you're justin Timberlake.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Now somebody would drive you home. There's literally no reason
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: for them to do that.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: He can't take like a plane. Yeah, and if you
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: want to drink and drive, he's rich enough that he
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: could do like a like a demolition Derby drunk, yeah,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: because like you know that demolition Derby people are drunk
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: if they come to like Portland, you want to go.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I've been to one one time.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: It is pretty fun. And I was climbing a fence
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: and then a car was on fire. And while I
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: was climbing the fence like some guy I don't know
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: he'd climbed the fence too, but he knocked me off
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: the fence and I fell and it was a tall
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: fucking fan.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: So none of that had to do with me with
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: the Derby. The deliction Derby though, but it Demlicia Derby
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: and I stopped a garden before and I got pasta.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: At the derby. Yeah, I was.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I was more looking for like a review on how
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: you thought about the Derby.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: But sorry, it was crazy because my dad's friend's husband
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: put it together. So like during the derby, I was
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: sitting there and they go, we have special guests Andrew.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Lipsy, and I was like, I looked at it.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Did they say Andrew lips he's like yeah, man. I
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: was like, oh weird, and I was like us and
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: he's like you and I'm like what. So then I
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: go up to the main stage and I get like
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: a T shirt that says the Destruction Derby and everything,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: and people are clapping, but everybody's.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Probably like who the fuck is this kid? Like why
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: is he up here? Oh?
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: He make make a wish kid.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: But the thing I didn't like about Destruction Derby was
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: the ground wasn't dry. It was really muddy, which I
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: get for safety because they probably don't want two cars
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: at mac speed. But in my head I assumed it
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: was gonna be a lot crazier and a lot faster.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: But it was still fun though it's definitely worth going.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: No, I'm totally down, so I I'm trying to find
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the video, but it's like not loading. Also, since we've
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: been gone since even know Britney Spears got arrested for
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: DUI really yeah, it wasn't like as funny as justin
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Timberlake because he's like a little bitch and we want
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: like I think we freed her, freed Britney too early,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: because you can't go from being like in a small
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: conservatorship for decades or like a decade to having like complete,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Unlimited freedom with yeah funds, Well, I guess you.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Should have nice access. Like somebody like she can't control
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: her own finances, but now we give her a bunch
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: of knights.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Do you think the cop knew who Justin Timberlake was?
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: No? Probably, I don't know.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: So let's say the cop is twenty five, right, I
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: don't know. We'll just say he's a younger guy because
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure as a dude. So we'll say it's
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: twenty five. That means twenty five years ago. That's when Justin.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Timberlake was at his peak. Yeah, so if you.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Were twenty five and let's say somebody from nineteen eighty
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: eight was arrested, you probably wouldn't know how.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: You might have to google it, Yeah, exactly.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and like he's not going to google it. But
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: we were at Low's yet last night and they were
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: playing on the radio thing like I Want It that
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Way from Backstree Boys, and I was like, I asked
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the cash register guy. I was like, do you know
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: who this is? And he was like no, And I
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: was like, are you you don't know? Who Baustree boys are.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: And he's like, I've ever heard of that? And I
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: was like, oh my gosh, I check him out, like
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: their first album and then Millennium and then after that.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like he was like, good to know,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: thank you.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: I remember when I was in fifth grade, me and
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: my friends for a talent show.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Did.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Backstreets back all right? Remember that we tried to dance
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: and stuff?
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Did we? Maybe I did?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe you like, maybe you were choreographing it alone and
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: you're like, I'm going to present this to the guys
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: next week, and then you were about to, and then
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: right before you were about to, they were like, oh
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: you know, it's the worst choreographed dances.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I was like next week and all my boys were
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: playing sports ball. Yeah.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Another interesting thing that happened was did you see the
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: guy from Taiwan who like was at a press conference
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: and like, bar you know, go see it listener, I'm
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: gonna show Andy.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Really do you remember? I mean we were too young.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: But when was it Reagan or was it Bush who
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: threw up in there? I think it was a Bush
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: senior who threw up in his lap at that conference.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: That's like a lot of people that are rating for president,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: like be somebody that they would want to grab a
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: beer with you, And I'm like no, like if you
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: can throw up in front of me, like I trust
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: to you, because like we've all been there where we
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: just like spontaneously throw up.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know, like I've never thrown up just spontaneously.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I'm showing Andy, Yeah, this is good, this is good.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Do you do it.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: He's looking at the other guy.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's like a baby, like an adult baby, like
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: a human. It's like an adult who's barfing like a baby.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Like what they say? Why I think he's just not eating? Well,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know. And then then on the more serious news,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: the last thing I have.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Why, why do you think that's it? Maybe to chili dogs?
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, really quick, Your dad had a friend whose husband said,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: so he was friends with a girl, like a woman.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: M So was it, like, was there ever anything between
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: the two of them.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: My dad partied really hard back in the day.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Like not saying that men can't. But I watched when
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Harry met Sally, so I know that, like what happens
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: when boys and girls are friends.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know, I could see either way i'd
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: be because she was a little bit older than he was.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: But maybe they did like a three something.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like that time we're important than that.
