- 1:33Speaker 2: she said October is the most productive month for people
- 1:37Speaker 2: because you just got done with summer and getting started,
- 1:41Speaker 2: like getting kids back to school and getting your stuff together.
- 1:44Speaker 2: The weather's not horrible, so this is the time to start,
- 1:47Speaker 2: not January. So good for you. Yea, yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
- 1:50Speaker 2: I started as I was sharing to you prior that
- 1:52Speaker 2: I got a Stanley. So I'm doing the hydration promotion
- 1:57Speaker 2: to everybody who I'm just remembinding people that I had
- 2:00Speaker 2: is important, It is very important.
- 2:01Speaker 1: You might hear a few pauses during this episode so
- 2:03Speaker 1: Jeff can stay hydrated.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Yeah hydrated? Yeah cool.
- 2:08Speaker 1: So yeah, so this one, you know, what I was
- 2:10Speaker 1: thinking about today being super nostalgic for but is vhs
- 2:15Speaker 1: is that were kind of hard to come by. So
- 2:18Speaker 1: I was thinking about the old Cky tapes and for
- 2:22Speaker 1: anybody who doesn't know what that is, it's kind of
- 2:24Speaker 1: like a precursor to what Jackass was. What it was Bamarjeera,
- 2:27Speaker 1: Ryan Dunn and all his buddies, and it was a
- 2:29Speaker 1: mix between skate videos and also stupid stunts. But when
- 2:33Speaker 1: I was a kid, are my buddy, my buddy's older
- 2:36Speaker 1: brother had a VHS tape of Ky two K and
- 2:40Speaker 1: all of us would kind of borrow it for a
- 2:41Speaker 1: few days and then give it to somebody else and
- 2:43Speaker 1: give it to somebody else. And then when you told
- 2:44Speaker 1: somebody you had that, they go, no way can I borrow?
- 2:46Speaker 3: And I'm like, well, let me see.
- 2:48Speaker 1: And now you can just get whatever you want, which
- 2:49Speaker 1: is great, of course, but there is something so magical
- 2:53Speaker 1: about not having something and then like, wait, how did
- 2:57Speaker 1: you get this? Because we didn't have money. Then either,
- 2:59Speaker 1: you can't really order stuff online, so it was really
- 3:01Speaker 1: hard to come by. Are there any tapes like that
- 3:03Speaker 1: that I mean other than like porn? I'm assuming, but yeah,
- 3:06Speaker 1: you know anything like that for you guys?
- 3:08Speaker 3: No, yeah, I I honestly I had two tapes that
- 3:12Speaker 3: no one else had. One was a Mike Valley like
- 3:14Speaker 3: learning how to scale? Oh sureo, and the other was
- 3:18Speaker 3: c KY as well. Yeah, those are the only two
- 3:20Speaker 3: tapes that I didn't like record the girls Gone Wild
- 3:23Speaker 3: ads a very I didn't record over those ones. This
- 3:27Speaker 3: is precious.
- 3:28Speaker 1: I forgot about those ads. Yeah, And as a kid,
- 3:31Speaker 1: You're like, oh, that's super hot, but now you're just like, oh,
- 3:32Speaker 1: it's just it's just boobs for like probably what two hours.
- 3:35Speaker 1: If you actually bought the tape, I.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Don't know what it would be, but yeah, just bad
- 3:38Speaker 3: decisions for like two hours.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Yeah, my best friend Kaylene, we would record randomly, like
- 3:46Speaker 2: maybe fifteen seconds of a commercial or a show, then
- 3:50Speaker 2: then stop recording, then the next start recording and just
- 3:53Speaker 2: watch these like two hours of like just random commercials
- 3:57Speaker 2: put together.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Yeah, that was weird. It was weird.
- 4:01Speaker 2: It was it was cool, and I just just thought
- 4:04Speaker 2: of because I was I'm really into like the last
- 4:06Speaker 2: episode talk about Rocky Horror, and I had that on VHS.
- 4:09Speaker 2: And there was this little Christian girl that we went
- 4:11Speaker 2: to school with who worked at this, uh when I
- 4:13Speaker 2: was a young adult young young adult short like a
- 4:19Speaker 2: what's called like a resale shop, and I was talking
- 4:21Speaker 2: to her about Rocky Horror. She's like, oh can I
- 4:23Speaker 2: can I watch it?
- 4:24Speaker 1: And I let her borrow.
- 4:25Speaker 2: She never gave it back to me, so I'm wondering
- 4:27Speaker 2: if she just like confiscated it. Stupid.
- 4:30Speaker 3: I don't remember her.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Name, She probably nobody now. She probably wives on TikTok.
- 4:34Speaker 2: That's like fucking. Her name is probably like Ellis or
- 4:40Speaker 2: something I hate.
- 4:40Speaker 3: So she was a little Christian girl. Yeah, what would
- 4:42Speaker 3: Jesus think? I know her name is Ella el.
- 4:45Speaker 2: I'm assuming her name is. It's not Ellis. But like,
- 4:47Speaker 2: she had that vibe. She had that very like stank five.
- 4:50Speaker 1: That's just I wonder how far she got into that
- 4:53Speaker 1: VHS before she was like nobody else should be watching.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Like blasphemy kind of thing, because I can make you
- 4:58Speaker 2: a man like in seven days is like that kind
- 5:00Speaker 2: of like a lot of Jesus references. But yeah, if
- 5:03Speaker 2: you're listening, she pan listening plan live anymore. But fuck
- 5:05Speaker 2: you anyways, Anthony, what are you nostalgic for?
- 5:09Speaker 1: So?
- 5:09Speaker 3: I have a few that I wrote down there, came prepared. Yeah,
- 5:13Speaker 3: one I'm gonna give you guys an option. One is political,
- 5:16Speaker 3: one is dirty, one is super dark, and the others, uh,
- 5:20Speaker 3: well movie scripts.
- 5:22Speaker 2: I'm going on my votes for the two middle ones
- 5:25Speaker 2: super darker.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Dirty dark Yuh, let's go super dark.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Let's go here because expect this one.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Come out right after Halloween, so it's still a little scary.
- 5:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that's the right dark but Okay,
- 5:39Speaker 3: this episode will.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Come out right before this comes out on election day.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Oh no, it doesn't two weeks before, like I don't know.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Yeah, November eleventh, right or fifth of November.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Yeah, that's when the other one is going to come out.
- 5:51Speaker 2: The next episode Okay, the one we're recorded after this
- 5:54Speaker 2: is coming out on the fifth.
- 5:56Speaker 3: We'll go dark. I miss I miss like walking home
- 6:03Speaker 3: from school as a kid during this same time period
- 6:05Speaker 3: where it's like kind of getting dark as you're walking home.
- 6:09Speaker 3: You can't do that anymore, not as kids, And I
- 6:12Speaker 3: blame Liam Neeson's taking movies for that. Yeah, because like
- 6:16Speaker 3: every bad guy in the world realized that Liam Neeson's
- 6:18Speaker 3: just an actor and those movies are fake, so they're
- 6:21Speaker 3: not going to be caught or captured, so they could
- 6:23Speaker 3: just go out and take your kids. Yeah, I told
- 6:26Speaker 3: you it was super dark.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Well yeah, funny because one of the things I was
- 6:29Speaker 1: thinking about bringing up is walking to school when it
- 6:31Speaker 1: was really dark with your CD player and like your
- 6:33Speaker 1: nose is cold. You you finally walk into school and
- 6:36Speaker 1: you're kind of warming up and your pants are really wet.
- 6:38Speaker 1: For some reason, I.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Peed every time because if it was too cold, I
- 6:44Speaker 3: was peeing in my pants.
- 6:45Speaker 2: You you guys both pee your pants a lot.
- 6:47Speaker 1: No, I'm at the bottom of my pants or you.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Know who piece his pants a lot? Yeah? Have you
- 6:53Speaker 2: seen that all over the internet. He pees himself and
- 6:57Speaker 2: he doesn't like hide. He still poses for picture. Yeah,
- 7:00Speaker 2: he's that badass or incontinent.
- 7:02Speaker 1: But I think, No, I'm not too great on geography,
- 7:05Speaker 1: but I think walking home here in Oregon because it
- 7:08Speaker 1: would be like at five or six when it started
- 7:10Speaker 1: getting really dark. Yeah, So I feel like other places
- 7:12Speaker 1: maybe don't have that as much as we did.
- 7:14Speaker 3: I don't know though, Yeah, like because America is not
- 7:19Speaker 3: like a straight up and down so like people in
- 7:21Speaker 3: like the Northeast probably has to. Like it's probably dark
- 7:24Speaker 3: when they go to school and dark when they go yeah.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Right, but they have different time zones.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, they do.
- 7:29Speaker 3: But they don't adjust their schooling to those time zones though. Yeah,
- 7:34Speaker 3: Like if they're in a different time zone, they don't
- 7:36Speaker 3: go to school earlier. To a justice, it's still the
- 7:38Speaker 3: same time as a Vayer.
- 7:39Speaker 1: They would still start like seven, three hours ahead.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they would still start at seven to them.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Yeah, but I remember from like sixth grade to about
- 7:48Speaker 1: eighth grade, seventh grade to eighth grade, ninth grade. I
- 7:51Speaker 1: don't know, but me and three of my buddies used
- 7:53Speaker 1: to walk home together all the time. And I saw
- 7:56Speaker 1: Dlo get shipped on by a bird more than time.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Oh my god, I've seen him. I've seen him get
- 8:01Speaker 1: pooped on a bird three times in my life, and
- 8:03Speaker 1: it's so crazy to me that, like walking home, he
- 8:06Speaker 1: keeps getting shitted. I don't know.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I that happened to me too. Like I'd be
- 8:10Speaker 3: walking home or skateboarding home from school with one of
- 8:12Speaker 3: my old friends and I got there's this big not
- 8:16Speaker 3: a hill, but it's like a down slope over by
- 8:18Speaker 3: my house. And I used to skateboard all the time
- 8:20Speaker 3: because they're like, oh yeah, I get up to like
- 8:21Speaker 3: thirty miles per hours really just like fifteen.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Which is still really fast with that A help anything
- 8:26Speaker 1: with your hands, yeah, exactly, so many scars.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Yeah, but a bird pooped on me one time as
- 8:31Speaker 3: I was skating down like probably at the the precipice
- 8:34Speaker 3: of when I'm going the most fast on the scale. Yeah,
- 8:38Speaker 3: I wouldn't say fast because I was a big kid
- 8:39Speaker 3: on a skateboard, but.
- 8:42Speaker 2: I whenever I walked home and I didn't have like
- 8:45Speaker 2: my walk manner or whatever. It was so boring. So
- 8:48Speaker 2: this is like I've never admitted this. I used to
- 8:51Speaker 2: make movie trailers like come up with them. Oh even
- 8:55Speaker 2: like the actors. And when one actor that game comes
- 8:57Speaker 2: to mind that I always cast in my movies was
- 9:00Speaker 2: Don Wells, who plays maryam Gilligan's Island. I always cast
- 9:05Speaker 2: her in my movies. Yeah she's dead now.
- 9:07Speaker 1: But not that long ago. It was weird.
- 9:10Speaker 2: But yeah, suld like what was I doing?
- 9:12Speaker 1: But yeah, walking home?
- 9:14Speaker 2: Yeah, and walking home.
- 9:15Speaker 1: I don't like walking anywhere now as an adult. Maybe
- 9:18Speaker 1: I should just start walking places at night time and
- 9:19Speaker 1: trying to feel that nosulgia feeling.
- 9:21Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean nowadays, like there's some areas where like
- 9:24Speaker 3: school buses won't let your kids off the bus unless
- 9:28Speaker 3: you're there to walk them home, like I did to
- 9:30Speaker 3: this one Hispanic girl, and like she lived in kind
- 9:32Speaker 3: of a crappy neighborhood and she had kids and I
- 9:34Speaker 3: never wanted my own, so and like there's some days
- 9:37Speaker 3: where she'd be at work and she'd be like, hey,
- 9:39Speaker 3: can you go get my kids? I'm like, why can't
- 9:41Speaker 3: they just walk home? The bus stop is literally two
- 9:44Speaker 3: houses down from your house. She's like, because the bus
- 9:46Speaker 3: driver won't let them off without an adult there.
- 9:48Speaker 2: But if the adult could be there, then they could
- 9:50Speaker 2: just pick up their kid from school.
- 9:51Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah.
- 9:53Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I remember being first grade,
- 9:56Speaker 1: so sixty years old. I lived by unless you and
- 10:00Speaker 1: Sale if I don't know what this is, but the
- 10:01Speaker 1: Jack in the Box and Hyat and there's apartments back there,
- 10:04Speaker 1: and I would walk to Kennedy Elementary, which is by
- 10:07Speaker 1: the Kaiser Lilag Fields, and I'd walk home. At six
- 10:09Speaker 1: years old one, I'm like, oh, those are my parents
- 10:12Speaker 1: probably weren't the best, but fucking nuts, that's so far.
- 10:15Speaker 1: I would never let my kids walk far.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I used to, Like my mom
- 10:20Speaker 3: used to live by well, she still lives there by
- 10:22Speaker 3: Volcano Stadium. And I used to walk to B and
- 10:25Speaker 3: S on the other side of Kaiser. Yeah yeap, just
- 10:27Speaker 3: to get like a Jones soda because that's the only
- 10:29Speaker 3: place I had Joon soda. I should have said, Joan soda.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Maybe you just yeah, you're just out. Yeah. Joone SODA's
- 10:35Speaker 2: were bomb with the little pictures on them and stuff.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Always got the blue one. I don't remember the flavors at.
- 10:39Speaker 2: All, but they were just fun. The packaging was so
- 10:42Speaker 2: all right. So what I'm nostalgic for is and I
- 10:45Speaker 2: wrote this when I was a little You know, what's
- 10:47Speaker 2: up is the digestive system of a child or young adult.
- 10:53Speaker 2: They used to be able to eat anything and have
- 10:55Speaker 2: like incredibly normal bowel movements. Now my movements, I wrote
- 11:01Speaker 2: a joke. Let's see if it lands. Now my bowel
- 11:03Speaker 2: movements are more dangerous than a game of Russian roulette.
- 11:06Speaker 2: All right, I could eat the clean even now. I
- 11:11Speaker 2: could eat like I don't know if if Trader Joe's
- 11:13Speaker 2: is everywhere, but Trader is like you know, organ all
- 11:15Speaker 2: theah stuff, so it's a grocery store. So I could
- 11:19Speaker 2: eat the cleanest food at Trader Joe's. And it's either like,
- 11:22Speaker 2: no joke, it's either Niagara falls coming out of my ass,
- 11:25Speaker 2: or it's like I'm giving birth to like porcupine. There's
- 11:32Speaker 2: no there's no in between. Yeah, and then I these
- 11:36Speaker 2: are just like I thought it was really funny when
- 11:39Speaker 2: I wrote this. Let's see. Okay, some might say that
- 11:41Speaker 2: that food was good ten twenty years ago, but I said, no,
- 11:45Speaker 2: I was shoveling shit in my mouth back then, more
- 11:48Speaker 2: so than the human centipede. Yeah, back in the day.
- 11:52Speaker 2: She's oh, back in the day, cheeseburgers were like thirty
- 11:55Speaker 2: nine cents. So yeah, back then, I was eating thirty
- 11:58Speaker 2: nights at cheeseburgers and I having normal bowel movements. I
- 12:02Speaker 2: know that you hate bowel movements.
- 12:03Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I respect them.
- 12:05Speaker 2: You respect them. And I want to say the listener
- 12:09Speaker 2: that in about the Okay, this is for the listener
- 12:12Speaker 2: that's like twenty five. You're tight, you think you're hot
- 12:15Speaker 2: shit and everything. Enjoy it all last because one day
- 12:20Speaker 2: you're going to be crying while you're crapping yourself, and
- 12:23Speaker 2: like you're specifically you're gonna crap yourself when you're wearing
- 12:25Speaker 2: shorts that on the one day you don't wear underwear.
- 12:28Speaker 2: That's what. So just enjoy it because it's gonna happen
- 12:30Speaker 2: to you. I see all these hot kids, they're not kids, wow,
- 12:33Speaker 2: but all these like hot I see kids like you know,
- 12:35Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, twenty three that think that they're hot shit.
- 12:38Speaker 2: In ten years, you're gonna be defecating in your pants. Yeah,
- 12:41Speaker 2: A sneeze is gonna make you poop.
- 12:43Speaker 3: You're gonna have to be like just mainlining fucking meta
- 12:47Speaker 3: mucil and benifier. Yeah, just to have a normal shit.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Yeah, and enjoy it all last, but just like have
- 12:53Speaker 2: respect for older people. And then I have a special
- 12:56Speaker 2: announcement for the listener too that towards the end of November,
- 13:02Speaker 2: I think it will air that I am going to
- 13:06Speaker 2: be doing a special report for my first colonoscopy. Oh yeah,
- 13:11Speaker 2: So I don't know if how we're gonna figure it out.
- 13:13Speaker 2: If I'm just gonna record call Andy and he'll record
- 13:17Speaker 2: a conversation with me.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Yeah I could, I'm through here. Yeah, we could just
- 13:20Speaker 1: record the whole thing.
- 13:21Speaker 2: I think that would be just next level. That might
- 13:24Speaker 2: get us. That would definitely get us a twenty A
- 13:27Speaker 2: twenty twenty five reward. We're gonna get the awards. This
- 13:30Speaker 2: will be the episode that we submit.
- 13:32Speaker 3: Yeah, so I love this idea.
- 13:36Speaker 2: This yeah great. Yeah, because afterwards apparently you've just farted
- 13:39Speaker 2: a lot and stuff like that. And then right before
- 13:41Speaker 2: I picked up my medicine today, they have to drink
- 13:43Speaker 2: a bunch and then you just defecate all the all
- 13:45Speaker 2: over and then my doctor was like, oh, you're gonna
- 13:48Speaker 2: have to you probably bring like a towel and a
- 13:49Speaker 2: change of clothes with you, and I'm like, sweet, that's already,
- 13:53Speaker 2: that's already in my car. Yeah. Anyways, so that, uh,
- 13:57Speaker 2: that was just a good nostalgic nuggets.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, no, I uh yeah. Because when you're a kid,
- 14:03Speaker 1: you can eat whatever and then just go do whatever.
- 14:06Speaker 1: But now it's like, Okay, if I'm gonna go out tonight,
- 14:08Speaker 1: I could probably eat around like one and then I'll
- 14:10Speaker 1: be fine the party all night. But if it's fight
- 14:12Speaker 1: at like five pm before I go out, I'm like,
- 14:14Speaker 1: I'm staying home. Guys, I'm gonna be too sleepy now,
- 14:16Speaker 1: because there's.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Different levels of like drinking isshitting yourself. There's the you're
- 14:20Speaker 2: passed out and you poop your bed. Then there's the
- 14:22Speaker 2: the next day where you cough or sneeze and then
- 14:25Speaker 2: you poop. But then as you get older, if you drink,
- 14:27Speaker 2: at least in my history, the next day, you don't
- 14:31Speaker 2: even have to sneeze or cough, you just start pooping.
- 14:34Speaker 2: And it's something that I don't know who's gonna win
- 14:36Speaker 2: the election this year, but they need to make that
- 14:39Speaker 2: one of their biggest platforms and let's figure out this
- 14:43Speaker 2: poop pooping. You gotta stop that, Okay, Well, until next time.
- 14:49Speaker 1: I am Jeff, I'm Andy.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna see you next Tuesday.
