- 0:25exact name, uh, of it, but we're
- 0:28going to get into that as we are, uh, joined

- 0:33>> Speaker A: I'm doing great.
- 0:34>> Speaker C: How are.
- 0:35>> Speaker B: Very, very good. What is
- 0:38the official title name of,
- 0:41um, where we are at?
- 0:43>> Speaker A: Official title name?
- 0:46Uh, we are at my place of business.
- 0:49>> Speaker C: Perfect.
- 0:49>> Speaker A: Uh, I don't know
- 0:52how much you go into depth about, like, where as.
- 0:55>> Speaker B: Much as you need.
- 0:56>> Speaker A: All right, so local kettle corn
- 0:59company. Susie Q's kettle corn. Uh, local to
- 1:02the Salem, Oregon area.
- 1:04Been doing it for about two years. My family's owned
- 1:07businesses throughout my life, mostly food service
- 1:10related. This is our newest endeavor, so we're
- 1:13in, uh, our company's bathroom.
- 1:15>> Speaker C: There you go.
- 1:16>> Speaker B: We made it into the special
- 1:19zone of truth.
- 1:19>> Speaker A: I may be halfway out the door a little bit, but we're here.
- 1:22>> Speaker B: Hey, we're here. Um, yeah,
- 1:25and we were talking before
- 1:28the record, but you said you guys have had a recording
- 1:31or catering, uh, m company for
- 1:3325 years.
- 1:35>> Speaker A: That's what my dad's been doing. I mean, I'm 24, so he's been
- 1:38doing a little bit longer than I've been alive, but,
- 1:41yeah, I've been working with him on that since I was, like, ten.
- 1:43>> Speaker B: Wow, that's awesome. Um,
- 1:47what is that like, growing up and just
- 1:50having that as, I guess, kind of like one
- 1:53of the weekend family activities, I imagine,
- 1:57uh, it's weird.
- 1:58>> Speaker A: So talking to other people about it,
- 2:01uh, I think a common theme is like, wow, so you must have grown up
- 2:04really fast.
- 2:05>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 2:05>> Speaker A: Which I definitely. I guess, not to toot my own horn in any way, but
- 2:08I definitely did.
- 2:09>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 2:09>> Speaker A: I mean, I'm the oldest of five, and so
- 2:13that kind of thrusts you into responsibility a little bit, but,
- 2:16um, yeah, I've never heard of it
- 2:18pitched that way, necessarily as, like, a weekend family
- 2:21activity. But that's a really good way of putting it, because
- 2:24100%. There were definitely weekends where it's like, hey, I
- 2:27have three caterings this week. One of them is 6000 people,
- 2:30one of them is 400 people, one of them is 150. And
- 2:33he's like, all right, uh, Jerry, Jude, Julia,
- 2:35and I've got eight other employees. We're all working on
- 2:38these, that kind of thing. So it was kind of a family
- 2:41activity, but I think it taught me a lot
- 2:44of important lessons growing up pretty early, and I'm very thankful for
- 2:46it.
- 2:47>> Speaker B: A lot of business management and strategies
- 2:50too, I imagine.
- 2:51>> Speaker A: Uh, yeah.
- 2:55>> Speaker B: And you're talking, like, all sizes of groups, you said, like,
- 2:58thousands and down to just handfuls of
- 3:00people that, yeah.
- 3:02>> Speaker A: Our smallest is typically, like, 60 or 70
- 3:04people. And then I know that in the past,
- 3:07he's done up to 10,000.
- 3:09>> Speaker B: My goodness.
- 3:10>> Speaker A: That's not a constant.
- 3:11>> Speaker B: What is that event?
- 3:13>> Speaker A: Usually, it's, um,
- 3:16like a massive corporate company picnic.
- 3:18>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 3:19>> Speaker A: I think that's what that one was. Or it was either.
- 3:22I know our two largest. I think one of them was
- 3:25a massive corporate company picnic. I don't know what company it
- 3:28was for. And the other one was like, ah, a small
- 3:31fair that he was meant to feed everybody at. Okay, got
- 3:34it. Like a county fair.
- 3:36>> Speaker B: You all used to do the baseball?
- 3:38>> Speaker A: Baseball, yeah. The volcano stadium.
- 3:43Do the volcanoes still exist? M that's
- 3:45a loaded question.
- 3:46>> Speaker C: Okay, perfect.
- 3:49>> Speaker A: They, uh, exist without us,
- 3:52but, uh, they're doing their own thing. They're no
- 3:55longer affiliated with the Giants. They
- 3:58were affiliated with the San Francisco Giants as a
- 4:01farm. Not, I think, a few years
- 4:03ago, San Francisco Giants dropped
- 4:06or actually, a bunch of major teams dropped a bunch of farm teams.
- 4:09>> Speaker C: Wow.
- 4:10>> Speaker A: Um, and people were surprised they dropped the volcanoes
- 4:13because they had a ton of World Series champs come out of there. Tim
- 4:15Lincoln, buster Posey, others? Uh, uh,
- 4:18yeah. Those are the only ones I've met.
- 4:20>> Speaker B: Uh, wow.
- 4:21>> Speaker A: But, yeah, I think they're their
- 4:24own kind of local, I think their own
- 4:26league, because they have four teams that all play there on
- 4:29rotation, and they do like, a hundred something games a season.
- 4:32But it's different. I've not revisited,
- 4:35but, yeah, I know.
- 4:37>> Speaker B: We used to take kids with the mentoring gig and, um,
- 4:41sometimes date night. And we moved to
- 4:44Albany. And I've been
- 4:47checked out of the Salem scene so much that
- 4:50it's wild. Every time I come back up, you've
- 4:53shared a little bit about who you
- 4:56are. Um, so we met
- 4:59through friend of the show
- 5:02Aaron. Uh, through d d.
- 5:05Um, was it.
- 5:05>> Speaker A: Aaron or was it. So I guess it was a.
- 5:08>> Speaker B: So for me, it was Aaron.
- 5:10>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 5:10>> Speaker B: Because I met
- 5:13Cyrus about the same time.
- 5:15>> Speaker A: Really? I just assumed that you knew Cyrus.
- 5:17>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 5:17>> Speaker B: So I knew Aaron.
- 5:19>> Speaker A: And, um, I guess that makes sense.
- 5:21>> Speaker B: Jesse. Does that sound Jesse?
- 5:24>> Speaker A: Are you talking about his. No, no. Sam's
- 5:27wife, right? Yeah. I don't remember.
- 5:31>> Speaker B: Okay, so Sam and Jesse?
- 5:33>> Speaker A: Yeah, Sam and Jesse.
- 5:34>> Speaker B: So Sam Beleck.
- 5:36>> Speaker A: Love that guy.
- 5:37>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 5:37>> Speaker B: Did he play dnd with us?
- 5:39>> Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Okay.
- 5:39>> Speaker A: He's the reason I started playing dnd.
- 5:41>> Speaker B: Okay, so it was Aaron
- 5:44and.
- 5:45>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 5:45>> Speaker B: Who were like. Because I was at Corbin and they're like,
- 5:48hey, we do d d. Mhm. You should
- 5:51come hang out because Corbin was trying to do their d d
- 5:54thing, but, like, without saying d d. Yeah, I remember one of those. I heard about
- 5:57that. Yeah, it was real special. And I
- 6:00was like, yeah, sure. Never played d d I come and hang
- 6:02out. You had that.
- 6:05>> Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. And it was funny enough, that
- 6:08place was literally right around the corner from here.
- 6:10>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 6:11>> Speaker A: Yeah, it's the end of the road. You drove down to get here. That's
- 6:13where we were.
- 6:14>> Speaker B: As I was driving in, I'm like, this seems
- 6:17familiar.
- 6:17>> Speaker A: Maybe I'm passing it. And then we ended
- 6:20up moving to another location.
- 6:22>> Speaker B: And I remember that.
- 6:23>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 6:23>> Speaker B: Um, that was off of, like, Silverton.
- 6:26>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 6:26>> Speaker A: More into Salem out of.
- 6:29>> Speaker B: But. So that's where we met. And I was just like,
- 6:32you seemed like this dnd seasoned
- 6:34veteran, and I was like, this
- 6:37starstruck. That's
- 6:40what a 20 sided die looks like, kid.
- 6:42>> Speaker A: That's like, oh, I remember.
- 6:44>> Speaker C: Wow.
- 6:45>> Speaker B: Um, wait, I can do anything.
- 6:47>> Speaker A: Um, I think I remember you specifically saying something like that. Our
- 6:50first, all of us getting together, you. I think
- 6:52Justin played with us for a little bit, and that
- 6:55was the sentiment. It was like, wait, so I can do anything? And, man, did people
- 6:58try. It's like, yeah, on a technicality, you can do
- 7:01anything. We'll see how it works.
- 7:03>> Speaker B: But we'll put you to sleep and put you in a bag and carry
- 7:05around this campaign if we have to.
- 7:08>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 7:08>> Speaker B: Um, but that was kind of how we met.
- 7:11And then, like you said, cyrus
- 7:14and the church involvement, weirdly
- 7:16enough, um,
- 7:19he's doing ministry down in Albany. Uh,
- 7:22we're miles from each other.
- 7:24>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 7:24>> Speaker A: I meant to ask you if you. But you guys don't connect at
- 7:26all.
- 7:28>> Speaker B: We run into each other a lot. Um, we're
- 7:30both different special types of
- 7:33busy.
- 7:36Yeah. Life is challenging to
- 7:39get folks together. But the youth pastor at his
- 7:42church and I, um, he's actually Dylan. He's been
- 7:45on the show before.
- 7:46>> Speaker C: Um.
- 7:48>> Speaker B: Yeah, it's just kind of one of those small world things.
- 7:52Um, and we'll talk in a little bit about, uh,
- 7:54what you got going, because I'm relearning
- 7:57about what you've been up to and, uh,
- 7:59vicariously through your stuff. But,
- 8:02uh, as you have navigated this
- 8:05life. And Byron, um,
- 8:08love that guy. Used to go play Pokemon. Go with him for a hot
- 8:11minute. Yeah, there was a few times where we would.
- 8:14Anyway, um, AdHd
- 8:17brain, but I love it.
- 8:20And this is part of the. Do you
- 8:23have either. It can be
- 8:25you, it can be one of those
- 8:28beloved siblings. Um, but
- 8:31bathroom stories from all those
- 8:34catering or growing up, anything
- 8:36bathroom story related that you.
- 8:40>> Speaker A: It's not like I'm hesitant to share.
- 8:42>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 8:43>> Speaker A: I definitely have one. I've got like
- 8:45two. I had thought about this a little bit.
- 8:48>> Speaker B: Everybody has one.
- 8:49>> Speaker A: Yeah, I definitely have one.
- 8:52I have a few.
- 8:53>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 8:54>> Speaker A: But I'm sure we only have so much time here, right? Hey,
- 8:57well, I know for I can crash course real quick. Really
- 9:00young. I like four years old, going to
- 9:03an old church. Um,
- 9:06definitely went to the bathroom. It was during that time where it's like,
- 9:09hey, I don't know if I shouldn't need my mom to
- 9:12wipe me anymore, but I don't want to make the
- 9:14leap of personal responsibility. And I know
- 9:17there was a time where I apparently
- 9:20shamelessly just walked out,
- 9:23drawers on the ground, around my ankles and
- 9:26into, I think, some
- 9:29church event, and was just like,
- 9:32does anybody know where my mom is?
- 9:35And only realized the significance of my embarrassment years
- 9:38later.
- 9:39>> Speaker B: Right, right. Well, because when you're a kid,
- 9:42you're kind of off the hook.
- 9:43>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah, you're off the hook for
- 9:46that. But when you're not, then in your
- 9:49own brain, you're not off the hook. It's like, can't believe
- 9:52I was so ridiculously inept.
- 9:55Um, but, uh,
- 9:58there's that. I think once I'm at a
- 10:01wedding when, uh,
- 10:04I was like eight or nine years old,
- 10:06somebody. I was going to the bathroom. Everybody else, it
- 10:09was at a church. Everybody else is like this big church all the way on the other
- 10:12side of the campus or whatever. And
- 10:15I'm entirely alone doing my business.
- 10:18Automated lights shut. Know, eight year old me
- 10:21is like, oh, no, I'm going to die.
- 10:24>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 10:24>> Speaker A: Luckily I had my trusty, uh, Mickey
- 10:27Mouse wristwatch that had a glow
- 10:30feature on it. So only by the light of my
- 10:33dim Mickey Mouse watch could I finish my business and get out of
- 10:36there. But probably the paramount story
- 10:39amongst my life of the bathroom time.
- 10:41>> Speaker B: Oh, boy.
- 10:42>> Speaker A: Which is okay. We have to establish.
- 10:44>> Speaker B: Yeah, absolutely.
- 10:48>> Speaker A: It's a zone of precious care.
- 10:51>> Speaker C: Right.
- 10:51>> Speaker A: Uh, the bathroom.
- 10:55There's almost royalty involved.
- 10:56>> Speaker C: Special place.
- 10:57>> Speaker A: It is a special place, and it shouldn't be taken
- 11:00lightly. Specifically,
- 11:02privacy. Right now, public
- 11:05bathrooms. Public bathrooms, I think, have
- 11:07thrown privacy to the wind just in form of
- 11:10treating us like animals. Right. Horses. Installs. And
- 11:13get your business done and get it done quickly,
- 11:16which there's probably some, uh, wisdom
- 11:19in that, I guess. But I will always
- 11:22distinctly remember, I think I was 17.
- 11:25>> Speaker C: Why?
- 11:25>> Speaker A: I said, I will distinctly remember. Then said, I think I was 17.
- 11:28>> Speaker B: Hey, you're good.
- 11:29>> Speaker A: And it was either end of junior
- 11:32year, beginning of senior year, and I
- 11:35know, okay. Never really had a lot of money
- 11:38in my life.
- 11:38>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 11:39>> Speaker A: Right? So I had, like, one pair of jeans most of
- 11:42high school, and then I think maybe the most I had
- 11:45two. But I knew that both of them had very
- 11:47unfortunate rips in, know right between the
- 11:50legs and those ones that just from wear down,
- 11:53start to open up. So I thought, all right, I got to get some
- 11:56new jeans, some that are a little nicer
- 11:59that I can wear to church and stuff like that, but
- 12:01also work in.
- 12:03>> Speaker C: Uh.
- 12:03>> Speaker A: All right, so headed to Walmart, where all good things
- 12:06happen.
- 12:06>> Speaker B: That's right.
- 12:07>> Speaker A: And pull into the parking lot,
- 12:10and I'm like, okay, something on the
- 12:13ride there is
- 12:15percolating.
- 12:16>> Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Doing one.
- 12:18>> Speaker A: Something's settling.
- 12:20>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 12:20>> Speaker A: And unsettling again. And then resettling. And I'm like,
- 12:23okay, I don't love
- 12:26to use public restrooms. I mean, who does? Who's sitting at home
- 12:29going, I wish I was doing this somewhere else.
- 12:31>> Speaker C: Right.
- 12:31>> Speaker B: You know, home is where the heart.
- 12:34>> Speaker A: Is and where the toilet is. Yeah,
- 12:38sorry, no, go for it.
- 12:39>> Speaker B: I have a coworker, and
- 12:42there's no way she listens to this nonsense, so whatever. But
- 12:47she'll take time off, go home to go to the bathroom.
- 12:51>> Speaker A: She's like, I respect,
- 12:54uh, yeah, depending on the
- 12:57state of the bathroom at the place, you.
- 12:58>> Speaker B: And she's a hard worker, so it's like, yeah, you go for it,
- 13:01girl. I'm not going to argue with you. But,
- 13:04yeah, no, public bathrooms are a disaster. And you're at Walmart's
- 13:06public bathroom is what that's.
- 13:08>> Speaker A: Yeah. So I'm in the mindset of like,
- 13:11okay, I will do whatever I can to make
- 13:14sure I get done with what I have to do so I don't have to use a public
- 13:17restroom, let alone Walmart. Right?
- 13:21Uh, it's a war zone, right? At least my
- 13:24expectation is it's going to be a war zone. So I pull in the parking spot. I'm m like, all
- 13:27right, well, I'm going to get in here. Get in, get out. I don't
- 13:30like shopping for clothes. And so, yeah,
- 13:33I'm going to get in, get out as quick as I can. But it's a 30 minutes
- 13:35endeavor at best. And I'm like, okay, I got to
- 13:38make a judgment call right now, because as I'm getting out of the car,
- 13:41I'm like, all right, this is shifting things.
- 13:43>> Speaker C: Oh, no.
- 13:44>> Speaker A: Legs are moving. Starting walking. No longer sitting.
- 13:46>> Speaker B: I'm, like, pumping a little more.
- 13:48>> Speaker A: Can I go 30 minutes?
- 13:49>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 13:49>> Speaker A: I run the risk of, I think this is my
- 13:52size. I'll grab these jeans, get them home, and realize I have to come back to
- 13:55return them because I grabbed the wrong ones.
- 13:56>> Speaker C: Right.
- 13:57>> Speaker A: Or I run the risk.
- 13:59>> Speaker C: Man.
- 13:59>> Speaker A: Heaven forbid a horrible accident happened while I'm trying jeans
- 14:02on in the store. That's a hard one to explain.
- 14:05So I. All right, I'm going to have to bite
- 14:08the bullet. The first thing I'm not going to
- 14:11go shopping. First thing I'm doing, I walk in bathroom or walk into the
- 14:14Walmart. I'm headed straight to the bathroom and
- 14:17I'm mentally preparing myself for the horrifying visage
- 14:19that's going to be a Walmart bathroom because I've been in some
- 14:22shout out to Hood river. They're Walmart. Worst bathroom I've ever
- 14:25seen in my life. Sorry, hood river, you're probably great, but
- 14:28Walmart, get it together.
- 14:30>> Speaker B: Um, I've used the
- 14:33bathroom in that Walmart, and I know exactly what you're talking
- 14:35about. My wife sent me pictures because it was
- 14:38so bad.
- 14:39>> Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
- 14:39>> Speaker A: You'd think that they'd be. I'm pretty sure right before I got into
- 14:42that bathroom, they were probably cooking. Well, it's
- 14:45terrifying in there.
- 14:46>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 14:46>> Speaker A: Lights are flickering. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get murdered even though I'm the only one in
- 14:49there. No, this one. Uh,
- 14:52I'm in Salem and I'm expecting the worst. Walk
- 14:54in, open the bathroom door. I kid you
- 14:57not. I thought I was magically transported to Olive Garden
- 15:00or something.
- 15:01>> Speaker C: What?
- 15:02>> Speaker A: Apparently only recently there was, like,
- 15:04burlap or something to make it look country chic in front
- 15:07of the.
- 15:08>> Speaker C: What in the world?
- 15:09>> Speaker A: Okay, right. It doesn't belong in Walmart, but I was grateful for
- 15:11it. Like, little string lights
- 15:14and, uh, cut burlap strips
- 15:17in front of the sinks and mirrors. Nice
- 15:20lights.
- 15:21>> Speaker C: What?
- 15:21>> Speaker A: Okay, this is not Walmart, but it was magnificent. And I
- 15:24thought, okay, maybe this is a sign
- 15:27I'm going to be okay.
- 15:29>> Speaker B: God's looking out for you.
- 15:30>> Speaker A: He really was. Um, but just wait.
- 15:32>> Speaker B: Oh, no.
- 15:33>> Speaker A: So I'm like, all right, well, uh, this is great. And bonus
- 15:36points because I have a sense about these things.
- 15:39I'm a little afraid of the
- 15:41audibleness of what might be about to happen.
- 15:44>> Speaker C: Right?
- 15:44>> Speaker A: So best case scenario, I'm the only one
- 15:47in the room, right? Because I don't have to explain myself
- 15:50for the screams of banshees they're probably going to
- 15:53hear. And so. All right. Kind
- 15:55of give a moment of contemplation.
- 15:58I'm listening. I don't think anybody's in here.
- 16:01Quick glance at the foot area of the
- 16:04stalls. All right. Nobody's else is in here. This is great. I have
- 16:07my choice of stall, right?
- 16:08>> Speaker C: Yeah. Great.
- 16:09>> Speaker A: What an honor. Um,
- 16:14as it goes, walk in the stall, turn around, give it
- 16:17a lock, make sure it's locked.
- 16:19>> Speaker C: Right.
- 16:19>> Speaker A: That's what you should do. Didn't do that.
- 16:21>> Speaker B: Yeah, and make sure it actually m fits in the little
- 16:24groove.
- 16:25>> Speaker A: Never does.
- 16:26>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 16:26>> Speaker A: But I think my hubris
- 16:29or something got the better of me because in this moment, I'm thinking this is the
- 16:32nicest Walmart bathroom I've ever been in.
- 16:34>> Speaker C: Right.
- 16:35>> Speaker A: I just assume the locks are going to work.
- 16:37>> Speaker B: Oh, no.
- 16:38>> Speaker A: Lock the door. Turn around. Also, I'm in a real hurry because if I
- 16:41don't do something quickly, I'm going to die of nuclear
- 16:44explosion or something.
- 16:45>> Speaker B: Well, and you want to get the pants shopping over with.
- 16:47>> Speaker A: Thank you.
- 16:47>> Speaker C: Exactly.
- 16:48>> Speaker A: No, I get it. So
- 16:52drop Trowel, start the business.
- 16:55Death charges are racing and
- 16:58rocketing out of me and
- 17:02I'm like, okay, I don't know how long of a process this is going to
- 17:05be. Let's speed this up a little bit. I want to get out of
- 17:07here. I hear the creak of the door open
- 17:11and I hear the distinct humming of a
- 17:14child coming into the bathroom.
- 17:17And he's humming like, you are my sunshine or
- 17:19something. And you can tell.
- 17:21>> Speaker B: Innocent and sweet, of course, right?
- 17:22>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 17:23>> Speaker A: I mean, he's probably the most innocent little kid.
- 17:25And then I hear as the door shutting, like crying out from
- 17:28outside the bathroom.
- 17:30Uh, hey, Johnny, better keep
- 17:33it quick because we got. Whatever, whatever.
- 17:36I mean, this is years ago, but I just remember somebody saying something to the effect
- 17:39of like, hurry up, do your business. And I remember
- 17:42them saying his name was Johnny.
- 17:44>> Speaker B: Oh, young Johnny.
- 17:46>> Speaker A: Um, yeah, young Johnny, who's seven years
- 17:49older now, so probably in middle school, he was probably like eight
- 17:51or, uh, maybe ten years old. No, he had to be younger than that.
- 17:54Like eight years old.
- 17:55>> Speaker C: We'll say. Yeah.
- 17:55>> Speaker A: He walks in, I hear him, you are my sun
- 17:58shining all up and down the bathroom. And,
- 18:02oh, yeah, he's clearly thinking he's
- 18:04alone. I was this kid five minutes ago,
- 18:07right? He's thinking, what
- 18:10serendipitous beauty.
- 18:11>> Speaker B: I have the whole bathroom.
- 18:13>> Speaker A: The best bathroom ever. I have the bathroom to myself. He's walking around,
- 18:16taking his choice of stall. Okay.
- 18:19Serendipity, abandoned.
- 18:22He picks the stall I'm in, right?
- 18:26No, first he's humming m. And he
- 18:28goes,
- 18:31hello. Now, in my mind, I'm
- 18:34thinking, why would he be speaking to me? All he's saying
- 18:37is hello. I thought maybe he was in response to the people who were yelling
- 18:40at him, right. So I don't
- 18:43say anything. There's a social contract in the bathroom.
- 18:46You don't talk to somebody.
- 18:47>> Speaker B: Don't talk to me.
- 18:48>> Speaker C: Right?
- 18:48>> Speaker A: I don't know you, and we know what I'm doing in here. I
- 18:51don't want to talk to you. So
- 18:54I hear again, uh, hello.
- 18:58And then I hear, oh, well. So I think, okay, he doesn't
- 19:01care. The door to the stall
- 19:03rattles a little bit.
- 19:04>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 19:05>> Speaker A: Oh, uh, he's trying the one next to me. Realizes there's no one in there. Don't know why he
- 19:08didn't pick it. Then he touched the door to mine. The door
- 19:11starts to open. I quickly
- 19:13hand out. I stop it.
- 19:15>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 19:16>> Speaker A: Superhero.
- 19:17>> Speaker B: It's not happening.
- 19:17>> Speaker A: No, nothing's happening.
- 19:19>> Speaker B: This child's not going to see this.
- 19:20>> Speaker A: Nobody's. This is my sanctum.
- 19:24It's the closest thing I'm getting to it at Walmart. And so I
- 19:27stop it abruptly. So the door didn't even open. So as far as he's
- 19:30aware, doors just locked. Okay, kid, get a clue.
- 19:33Door is locked. Don't come in. So I had no time
- 19:36to respond.
- 19:36>> Speaker C: Uh.
- 19:37>> Speaker A: Door closes. He's pushing against
- 19:39it. I mean, luckily, I'm a 17 year old teenage
- 19:42boy, and this kid's not getting passed.
- 19:45>> Speaker B: I worked out, eat your weedies, kid.
- 19:48>> Speaker A: Yeah, maybe if he had, he would have pushed through.
- 19:51Door doesn't open. I'm like, all right. This kid gets it,
- 19:54stops pushing on the door. Okay, I don't need to
- 19:57address it again. Social contract. I don't want to speak to this
- 19:59kid. He knows the door is locked. He's not coming in.
- 20:02I remove my hand, and then in a moment
- 20:05of such rapid speed,
- 20:09right under the door.
- 20:10>> Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
- 20:12>> Speaker A: On his, uh, hands and knees and just looks
- 20:15right up at me and then freezes.
- 20:17>> Speaker B: Like, what did you expect to find here, kid,
- 20:20right?
- 20:21>> Speaker A: Looking at me and just is like,
- 20:23uh. And then he goes, why did
- 20:26you trails off? And I go,
- 20:29no, um, this might be weird, but I just look at
- 20:32him and went, because in my head, I'm angry.
- 20:35>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 20:36>> Speaker A: But I just went, hey, Johnny,
- 20:39now.
- 20:40>> Speaker B: Probably a creepy
- 20:42kid. I heard his mom or whatever yell his
- 20:45name, but I don't know why.
- 20:47>> Speaker A: So I could be on a list somewhere and not know it, but
- 20:50I'm just like, hey, Johnny,
- 20:52bathroom's occupied. His face goes dead
- 20:55white. Like, eyes get big and just scrabbles
- 20:58out of there.
- 20:59>> Speaker B: Who's this all knowing bathroom goer?
- 21:01>> Speaker A: I'm the guy that sits on top of the know, or whatever, but I'm
- 21:04just in the bathroom, uh, oh, my gosh.
- 21:07He books it out of the bathroom, runs, door slams. I
- 21:10hear him like, there was a guy.
- 21:12>> Speaker B: Oh, see, that's the part that would give me
- 21:15the most chief anxiety, is hearing
- 21:17there's a guy in the bathroom. While he is upset. I'm
- 21:20like, yeah, well, he wasn't upset.
- 21:22>> Speaker A: He was just like, there's a guy in the bathroom. And I heard the guy
- 21:25go like, yeah, it's a public bathroom.
- 21:26>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 21:27>> Speaker A: And the kid's like, well, I don't have to go anymore.
- 21:29>> Speaker B: Yeah, I bet.
- 21:29>> Speaker A: And then they leave, right?
- 21:30>> Speaker C: Yeah. Uh.
- 21:31>> Speaker A: I'm like, oh, this is horrifyingly embarrassing.
- 21:34I don't want to have to explain this situation to anybody. So I
- 21:37wait a good ten minutes. I'm like, maybe they'll do their shopping and
- 21:39leave. I finish up my business. I leave the bathroom.
- 21:42No, I'm just praying I don't want to see this
- 21:45kid again.
- 21:46>> Speaker C: Right?
- 21:46>> Speaker A: The kid's got to be equally embarrassed, if not more.
- 21:49>> Speaker B: Yeah, I don't think he's going to.
- 21:51>> Speaker A: Call attention to it. I don't want to be accused of m something.
- 21:53>> Speaker B: Oh, my.
- 21:55>> Speaker A: And I. I'm a guy. Well, this kid's not going to
- 21:58be shopping in the men's jeans section, Lord
- 22:00willing way. So I go to the men's jeans section. I
- 22:03mean, next aisle over is the shoes. And I look over, I'm like, you've got to be
- 22:06kidding me. Here is a family, a mother
- 22:09and her few children. One of them being this kid
- 22:12looks at me, and he just eyes so wide,
- 22:15slack jawed. I can only
- 22:18imagine he thinks I'm following him, right? For.
- 22:21>> Speaker B: Oh, my gosh, yes.
- 22:23>> Speaker A: So I went, uh, there's a few ways I could handle
- 22:25this.
- 22:26>> Speaker B: Either I just trying to buy pants.
- 22:29>> Speaker A: I'm just trying to buy pants. Either I could
- 22:32confront his mother and say, hey, be
- 22:35a better mom.
- 22:36>> Speaker B: Your kids in there do well.
- 22:37>> Speaker A: Yeah, not going to do that.
- 22:40And I went, but maybe I have an opportunity to
- 22:43teach him a lesson. Yeah, think before you do,
- 22:45be a little bit more considerate also. Ah, locked doors.
- 22:48Mean something, right? So I just looked at. I had to
- 22:51get into character a little bit. And I just. The
- 22:54most stoic face. I just. I look at
- 22:57him, and when he's kind of, uh,
- 22:59towards me, kind of adjacent to his family
- 23:02a little bit, I just went, Johnny.
- 23:05And he just. Eyes wide again, like, how does this guy know my name?
- 23:08And I just grabbed a pair of pants, praying that they're the
- 23:11right one. Then I can't just start
- 23:14mean. This is the drop. It's a drop. The
- 23:17mic.
- 23:18>> Speaker C: Yep.
- 23:18>> Speaker A: Johnny, without looking, grab a pair of pants. I was pretty sure it was the right
- 23:21size. Walked away. Um, never saw him
- 23:24again. Johnny, if you're out there, I
- 23:27want you to know I'm not some
- 23:29weirdo. I, uh, care about your
- 23:32personal growth.
- 23:33>> Speaker B: And also, you're not sorry, because there's no reason for
- 23:36you to be sorry.
- 23:37>> Speaker A: Thank you.
- 23:38>> Speaker B: Because.
- 23:40>> Speaker A: Grow up, Johnny.
- 23:41>> Speaker B: Uh, also, this kid, to my understanding of this story,
- 23:44never went to the bathroom.
- 23:45>> Speaker A: No, definitely didn't.
- 23:46>> Speaker B: And so I'm sitting here.
- 23:48Yeah, I think this middle schooler was up
- 23:51to young,
- 23:54late elementary, early middle school was up to no
- 23:57good.
- 23:58>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 23:58>> Speaker B: Locked bathroom. Just
- 24:01move on.
- 24:02>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 24:02>> Speaker A: Uh, so, long story there, man, but hope it
- 24:05was. I think we can all learn something,
- 24:08right?
- 24:09>> Speaker B: Yeah. Uh,
- 24:12so I got two kids, and when my
- 24:15son was three ish,
- 24:18where everything is new and everything is the
- 24:21most interesting thing in the world, there's moments where it's
- 24:24like, hey, kid, I got to go to the bathroom. So that means you got to go
- 24:27to the bathroom.
- 24:28>> Speaker A: But why?
- 24:28>> Speaker C: What?
- 24:29>> Speaker B: Yeah, they've actually
- 24:31installed these kid strap in kid
- 24:34chairs where you can strap your kid into the chair while you poop.
- 24:37>> Speaker A: Oh, you're talking public restroom.
- 24:39>> Speaker B: Public restroom.
- 24:39>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 24:40>> Speaker A: I thought you're talking about your house. I was like, no.
- 24:41>> Speaker B: Well, that too. There's no privacy there either.
- 24:44Um, but they strap them in so they can't take off while you're
- 24:47doing bathroom. But some of them don't have that.
- 24:50>> Speaker A: I didn't know bathrooms had that.
- 24:51>> Speaker C: That's close. Some of them do. Some of them do.
- 24:53>> Speaker B: It's a new thing. But the number of times
- 24:56early on age three, is
- 24:59I'm doing my thing, and he's, like, standing there waiting for me, and
- 25:02he's, like, trying to peek under. And I
- 25:05said, listen, kid, you don't ever do
- 25:08like, even if you don't think there's anybody, uh,
- 25:11you don't ever do that. Because worst
- 25:14case scenario, like, best case scenario, you do it and
- 25:16there's no one there, and it's like, oh, I saw a
- 25:19toilet. Worst case scenario,
- 25:21somebody's either very mad, yeah, you're Johnny,
- 25:24or somebody spits on you or
- 25:27something. That's my thing is there's
- 25:30mean people that have. And
- 25:33it's like, I'm not trying to justify Johnny,
- 25:36because if you push on the door and it's locked and you
- 25:39keep going, you know what you're in for.
- 25:41>> Speaker A: But I think in that moment
- 25:43when he looked up and his eyes just got really wide, it was
- 25:46just a moment of revelation, of like, uh oh, I did
- 25:49this to myself. Yeah, that's what doors that
- 25:52don't move mean, right,
- 25:55man?
- 25:56>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 25:57>> Speaker A: But I will say that whole thing,
- 26:01if I was closer in age to that situation, I
- 26:04could tell the story better, and I know I could, because out
- 26:07of that whole thing, I love narrative writing and all that.
- 26:09I turned around with that, and I had an essay due.
- 26:12It was my senior year, I had an essay due for a narrative essay.
- 26:15>> Speaker B: Oh, perfect.
- 26:16>> Speaker A: I took that story, I spruced it up, I
- 26:19made it just beautiful. And of course,
- 26:22that's the week I had a wonderful writing teacher.
- 26:24>> Speaker C: Right?
- 26:25>> Speaker A: Actually, you probably know her. She does some work at Corbin. Her name is,
- 26:28um. Well, to us, it was Mrs.
- 26:30Reichelt. I don't know if I want to use
- 26:33her full name, if she's okay with
- 26:36put.
- 26:37>> Speaker B: I'll tell you this, the statistic probability
- 26:40that she's going to hear this is pretty low.
- 26:42>> Speaker A: Her name is Gail.
- 26:43>> Speaker B: Gail Reichelt.
- 26:44>> Speaker A: Mhm.
- 26:45>> Speaker B: I don't know her.
- 26:46>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 26:47>> Speaker B: Yeah, no, you could just bleep her name. Yeah, I mean, she.
- 26:50Hey, it sounds like she's a good writing teacher.
- 26:52>> Speaker A: She really is a wonderful writing teacher. But she was gone that week for whatever
- 26:55reason. We get a sub. Uh, and the sub was like, you need
- 26:58to publish this. Just like, this is incredible.
- 27:00>> Speaker B: Going for it.
- 27:01>> Speaker A: She's like. It's so funny. She's like, it's
- 27:03bathroom related, but there's some
- 27:06candor. But also, you're careful with your words.
- 27:09So I remember being like, hey, you know what? I'll suffer
- 27:12some embarrassment for a good compliment about my writing or
- 27:15something, but, yeah.
- 27:17>> Speaker B: Did you end up like, no.
- 27:19>> Speaker A: Okay, I guess I am now,
- 27:21huh?
- 27:22>> Speaker B: That's right.
- 27:22>> Speaker A: Putting it out there.
- 27:23>> Speaker B: You're doing it somewhat
- 27:25involuntarily
- 27:27impromptu. Dang,
- 27:30man.
- 27:32Whenever you get, like, public bathrooms or
- 27:35churches, that is like the through
- 27:38line or bad food.
- 27:41That's the other one that everybody like.
- 27:44Yeah, but nothing happened into your
- 27:46drawers, so that's good news, because
- 27:49the number of stories that I've sat down and started talking to people
- 27:52and they're like, yeah, I just left
- 27:55it at the truck stop.
- 27:56>> Speaker A: Well, I've never had anything like that, really.
- 27:59So apparently I am a freak
- 28:02because every time I've told people that
- 28:05I have a friend who works on some of the stuff I
- 28:08do, um, with me, his name is Matt.
- 28:11He ridicules me. He actually tells me
- 28:14I'm less of a man for having not pooped my pants.
- 28:16>> Speaker B: See, I don't know if I'd go that far.
- 28:18>> Speaker A: I think he's doing a bit. At least
- 28:21I really hope so. Now my feelings are hurt if I.
- 28:24>> Speaker B: Think you're, I think you are the norm.
- 28:28Having not, but I,
- 28:31purely anecdotal, I.
- 28:33>> Speaker A: Think I'm not because everybody I've told that to has
- 28:36been like, oh, I've got like, two.
- 28:38>> Speaker B: But that's troubling that maybe I
- 28:41have weird friends. Yeah, well, and it's
- 28:44like,
- 28:49this is one of those things where, you know, as you think about, like, how do I, how
- 28:52do I have a little bit more, like, different demographic
- 28:55of folk and getting ladies to
- 28:58come onto this.
- 29:00My wife has done one battle, God bless her.
- 29:03Yeah, it's like, wait, what would I
- 29:06be talking about? And it's like, listen,
- 29:09you don't have to share it if you don't want to share it, or if
- 29:12you do, just tell me. No. But
- 29:15the number of ladies that I've talked to are like,
- 29:18yeah, I've had problems, too.
- 29:20>> Speaker A: It's like, yeah, they're human.
- 29:23>> Speaker B: They're human. And it's like, God
- 29:26bless them. They have so much more to deal with.
- 29:32The horror. Anyway, um, how
- 29:34do we move on.
- 29:38>> Speaker A: My brother, though? Oh, yes, my brother.
- 29:41Quite a few hilarious stories about
- 29:44filling his drawers.
- 29:45>> Speaker B: And you're the big brother, so you get to like, look, I'll tell
- 29:48you.
- 29:48>> Speaker A: Right now, on the route for our company,
- 29:51he 100% filled his drawers real bad because he
- 29:54couldn't make it. Didn't have a
- 29:56spare pair of pants. But he's already done with the route, so he's just going to be in the car on the way
- 29:59back. Found an old hoodie, tied it around his
- 30:02waist.
- 30:03>> Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. Just like, sat in
- 30:06it.
- 30:06>> Speaker A: Oh, no. Got to a bathroom, cleaned
- 30:09himself up.
- 30:10>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 30:10>> Speaker A: Doesn't have a gun.
- 30:11>> Speaker B: And that is the new pair of pants.
- 30:13>> Speaker A: That is the new pair of pants.
- 30:13>> Speaker B: Oh, my.
- 30:14>> Speaker A: Wearing a hoodie diaper. So shows back
- 30:17up at the shop wearing a hoodie diaper.
- 30:20>> Speaker B: Oh, my God.
- 30:21>> Speaker A: No questions are necessary, right? You just look and go,
- 30:24where's your pants? I guess he soil distros today.
- 30:27>> Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
- 30:28>> Speaker A: Yeah, he's got quite a few.
- 30:30>> Speaker B: Did he get in the truck, though? Car?
- 30:32>> Speaker A: Oh, no.
- 30:32>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 30:33>> Speaker A: He was fine. It was contained.
- 30:36>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 30:37>> Speaker B: And it's time for oversharing. Um,
- 30:40then he's dealing with a lot more solid of a job
- 30:42than I deal with, because.
- 30:44>> Speaker A: On a regular basis. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry, dude.
- 30:47>> Speaker B: It's one part's coffee. Like, I just drink too much of it.
- 30:50>> Speaker A: I don't drink coffee.
- 30:51>> Speaker B: Oh, man. Yeah, the sweet, beautiful
- 30:54bean juice.
- 30:58Anyway, um, well, I mean, that's a.
- 31:00>> Speaker A: Common denominator for most people then, right?
- 31:02>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 31:02>> Speaker A: Coffee is just silent killer.
- 31:05>> Speaker B: Yeah. That's the side
- 31:07effect that when you're like, well, I am addicted
- 31:10at this point, but what do I do? I could stop.
- 31:13>> Speaker A: And then what am I sacrificing?
- 31:15>> Speaker B: And then as soon as you stop, you're like, oh, man,
- 31:18I haven't gone to the bathroom yet today.
- 31:21I wonder if I'm okay. And it's just because you quit drinking
- 31:24this thing that is probably bad for you in the long run.
- 31:27>> Speaker C: Right?
- 31:27>> Speaker B: Um, yeah. So I have a number of questions.
- 31:30>> Speaker A: Go for it.
- 31:31>> Speaker B: Um, that I ask everybody on the show. And the first,
- 31:33and starting out kind of simple, is what type
- 31:36of toilet paper, like, brand
- 31:38ply, are you using? Uh,
- 31:41and it can either be here, uh, or
- 31:45at your house, wherever. You
- 31:48said if someone said, jerry, you're in charge of buying,
- 31:51and money is not an option.
- 31:53>> Speaker A: If I'm in charge of. Oh, m but money's no option.
- 31:55>> Speaker B: Yeah, see, that's the thing is, what do you prefer
- 31:58and what do you use? Those might be different.
- 32:00>> Speaker A: Uh, yeah,
- 32:05I hesitate to say that. Real soft stuff, like what I'm
- 32:08looking at right now, the stuff my dad buys for the
- 32:10office. Quilted, northern soft plush. I don't
- 32:13like this stuff. It's way too soft.
- 32:16>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 32:17>> Speaker A: It's at the point where it rips
- 32:20more purely by the virtue of how soft it is.
- 32:22There has to be some substance.
- 32:24>> Speaker B: There's, like, particles that are happening.
- 32:26>> Speaker A: And then the few times I've had to blow my nose with it,
- 32:29then I have white, uh,
- 32:32flex over, because just putting it up, it's like. It's, like,
- 32:34dusted with, like, a. Yeah.
- 32:37So definitely not the most expensive
- 32:40stuff.
- 32:43When I was in charge of buying stuff for the house, when I had
- 32:46roommates and
- 32:48bought, I think I just bought, like,
- 32:51the generic Fred Meyer brand
- 32:54and whatever I could see
- 32:56constituted as, like,
- 33:00don't want. I don't want just the
- 33:03thin like transparency.
- 33:05>> Speaker B: The stuff that's in every public school.
- 33:07>> Speaker A: Oh, my goodness. And church.
- 33:09>> Speaker B: Most churches, too.
- 33:11>> Speaker A: And the worst of those is the ones where it's also basically
- 33:13just paper.
- 33:14>> Speaker C: Paper, yes.
- 33:15>> Speaker A: And it's transparent. So it's like, why am I. This is only lose
- 33:18lose. You're not only cheaping
- 33:21out a little bit, but you're also giving me something that's going to leave me bleeding.
- 33:24>> Speaker B: And you have to use so much of it often. It's
- 33:27like, how does that.
- 33:27>> Speaker C: Uh.
- 33:27>> Speaker B: Then you get these clogs that are not.
- 33:30Because of the.
- 33:33Sometimes it's not the kids fault. Now, sometimes they're little
- 33:36narrative, but it's like, how did
- 33:39this much toilet paper get in here? Well, because that's how much it takes.
- 33:42>> Speaker A: Because I have to wrap my entire arm just for one.
- 33:44>> Speaker B: It's unbelievable.
- 33:46>> Speaker A: I would just go for whatever I think looks medium.
- 33:50Medium. Even if money is no option. It's like I
- 33:53want some substance to it because I don't
- 33:56want it tearing on accident. Because then you're a whole new
- 33:59situation.
- 34:00>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 34:00>> Speaker A: Um,
- 34:04medium.
- 34:05>> Speaker C: Whatever. That.
- 34:06>> Speaker A: I don't have a brand. Sorry.
- 34:07>> Speaker B: Right. No, that's fine. Um,
- 34:10dude,
- 34:15I just go to the Costco and buy.
- 34:17>> Speaker C: Mhm.
- 34:18>> Speaker B: The Costco brand because it's
- 34:21big blue bag that's there. What else do
- 34:26when you go to wash your hands?
- 34:28>> Speaker A: Okay, wait, I do
- 34:31that.
- 34:33>> Speaker B: Are you a liquid soap or a bar
- 34:35soap type of guy?
- 34:39>> Speaker A: Liquid, uh, soap, I think.
- 34:40>> Speaker C: Liquid soap.
- 34:40>> Speaker B: Now take that into the shower. Do we
- 34:43have liquid soap or bar soap in the shower? Bar soap in the
- 34:46shower.
- 34:46>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 34:47>> Speaker A: Not. Didn't used to be, but.
- 34:48>> Speaker B: Okay, so when did the conversion happen?
- 34:51>> Speaker A: Um, probably when I became a man.
- 34:53>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 34:53>> Speaker A: No, just kidding.
- 34:56>> Speaker B: Shots fired.
- 34:57>> Speaker A: No, uh, it happened when
- 35:00I realized. Well, I did as a
- 35:02teenager. Axe is the thing you use.
- 35:04>> Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
- 35:05>> Speaker C: Really?
- 35:05>> Speaker A: I would say when I became a man, I did stop using axe.
- 35:08No offense.
- 35:09>> Speaker B: That is fair. That is a fair one.
- 35:10>> Speaker A: Uh, and to the grown men out there using
- 35:13axe.
- 35:14>> Speaker B: Stop it.
- 35:15>> Speaker A: Stop it. No,
- 35:18uh, I did
- 35:20use liquid soap for a while, and
- 35:23I did start becoming a little bit more hyper
- 35:26aware. A lot of those soaps, it got
- 35:29some chemicals and stuff in there.
- 35:32And then there were some studies I saw that came out where a lot of them,
- 35:35um, there were some lawsuits against some of those companies about. Shoot,
- 35:38about guys, like, lower t
- 35:41levels and stuff because of it and
- 35:44impotence. And so I was like, well, we.
- 35:46>> Speaker B: Don'T want children someday.
- 35:49>> Speaker A: I just went, well, maybe I don't want. I'll be more
- 35:52careful what I'm lathering my
- 35:55body with. So I started looking for more organic or
- 35:58something like I just, then
- 36:01I purely went economical. And there is a company
- 36:04out there called Duke Cannon.
- 36:07Duke Cannon, they're one of those, uh,
- 36:11know you got something like that, right?
- 36:14>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 36:15>> Speaker B: Um, have you been watching my Facebook ads, by the
- 36:17way? The Dr. Squatch, they're everywhere. They've got
- 36:20it figured out.
- 36:21>> Speaker A: I think. Dr. Squatch, a little overrated. My
- 36:24dad bought a few of those and I tried it. They smell good. Yeah,
- 36:27I've never, they're just so small and you go through them so quickly. But Duke
- 36:30Cannon, if you can get, I occasionally watch for like a
- 36:32sale or also Amazon. They sell some of their stuff.
- 36:35Duke Cannon has these huge
- 36:38bricks of soap. Absolutely massive. And they will last me
- 36:41like months.
- 36:42>> Speaker C: Wow.
- 36:43>> Speaker A: So I will buy, they might cost
- 36:45$1015, but I have them for a very
- 36:47long time and I have this thing that can fit
- 36:50it inside of it.
- 36:51>> Speaker B: Oh, dang. Like a holder.
- 36:53>> Speaker A: Kind of like a loofah holder.
- 36:54>> Speaker C: That's cool.
- 36:55>> Speaker A: Helps to get some more light.
- 36:56>> Speaker B: Um, so it's purely a, ah, cost.
- 36:59>> Speaker A: Decision now, but also canon. I kind of
- 37:03like the bar soap deal.
- 37:04>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 37:04>> Speaker B: So do you share a shower with someone I know that's
- 37:07probably like, okay, my whole family.
- 37:11So since you're a bar soap guy,
- 37:13do you ever etch messages into the
- 37:16bar soap for the other people who use the shower?
- 37:19>> Speaker A: No, but I probably should be now.
- 37:20>> Speaker B: See, I had a buddy, he's like, yeah,
- 37:23I used to send messages to my brothers and sisters in the bar
- 37:26soap. And I'm like, just talk to him. I'm like, that's
- 37:29the weirdest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. And he goes, yeah, it
- 37:32is what it is. I'm like, you can't just glance.
- 37:35>> Speaker A: It is what it is.
- 37:36>> Speaker B: And I ask all his siblings and they're like, yeah, I didn't really
- 37:38read them. And I'm like, that's bummer.
- 37:40>> Speaker A: Don't tell that guy. Yeah, just crush
- 37:43his hopes and dreams. Yeah, he's sitting here leaving I love you messages,
- 37:46hoping they're reading. They're like, I never paid attention.
- 37:48>> Speaker B: If I know him, it was more like, I can see you,
- 37:51or like, hey, you missed the spot or something weird
- 37:54like that. Um,
- 37:57okay, so in the same general area, how do you feel
- 38:00about baths? Just in general,
- 38:02hot takes on baths.
- 38:04>> Speaker A: Ooh, hot takes on. Well, I don't frequent
- 38:07them.
- 38:07>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 38:07>> Speaker A: I think the last time I took.
- 38:08>> Speaker B: A bath, probably around the
- 38:11liquid soap days.
- 38:12>> Speaker A: Well, or before.
- 38:13>> Speaker B: Yeah, absolutely.
- 38:16>> Speaker A: I'm sure they have merit. If I
- 38:19have the luxury of time, which is not something that I'm
- 38:22frequent.
- 38:23>> Speaker B: Fair enough.
- 38:24>> Speaker A: Or I'm very familiar with.
- 38:26Um, I still don't
- 38:29think I would. Yeah, because it feels strange.
- 38:32>> Speaker B: Right. Especially as an adult
- 38:35man. There's something about it that's like,
- 38:38this isn't for me anymore.
- 38:39>> Speaker A: No, because to me,
- 38:43when it comes to the realm of cleanliness, I want to be as efficient
- 38:46as possible, effective as possible. Right.
- 38:50And I feel like m bats are probably doing a disservice in
- 38:53both of those fronts.
- 38:54>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 38:55>> Speaker A: Efficacy. You're sitting in filled for a while.
- 38:58>> Speaker B: That's it right there. Ah, you've
- 39:00nailed it.
- 39:01>> Speaker A: But I get it, though, too, as far as a relaxing.
- 39:04>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 39:05>> Speaker A: I'm m not going to vilify someone for doing it.
- 39:07>> Speaker C: Right?
- 39:08>> Speaker B: Absolutely not.
- 39:09>> Speaker C: Um.
- 39:11>> Speaker B: Uh, do you have any
- 39:15bathroom specific
- 39:18pet peeves that are like. I mean, you
- 39:21share a bathroom with your family, so someone's
- 39:24got to be doing something.
- 39:25>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
- 39:27>> Speaker C: Uh.
- 39:30>> Speaker A: Wet floors, man. Yes, but
- 39:32that's not a hot take. I mean, everybody there can be a
- 39:35single person that walks into the bathroom with their socks on and loves that they're
- 39:38soaking wet now.
- 39:39>> Speaker B: But it's so simple to avoid.
- 39:43>> Speaker A: Yeah, but specifically to leaving
- 39:46a wet towel or
- 39:48bath inside a bathroom unsuspecting to me when I walk
- 39:51in there in the dark. Um,
- 39:54I do have some more niche ones, though.
- 39:56>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 39:57>> Speaker A: Specific to my. It here
- 40:00is an example of it.
- 40:00>> Speaker C: Right.
- 40:01>> Speaker B: Yeah. So we're staring at what looks like a,
- 40:04uh. I like to call that the Arizona print, even.
- 40:07>> Speaker C: Really?
- 40:07>> Speaker B: That's not the right term for it.
- 40:09>> Speaker A: Makes me think.
- 40:10>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 40:10>> Speaker B: So kind of a western ish print. Flannel
- 40:13draped over a box in this bathroom.
- 40:16>> Speaker A: Uh, that and they're gone. But,
- 40:19um, my brother,
- 40:21notorious
- 40:24for two things involving leaving things, places. One of
- 40:27them being drinks, opens them, takes one,
- 40:30two, maybe three sips out of it, leaves it. Oh, man, you should
- 40:33see his bedroom. Just drinks everywhere.
- 40:34>> Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
- 40:35>> Speaker A: Two, he leaves shoes
- 40:38and, like, outerwear along a
- 40:40line of flannels, coats every bathroom.
- 40:45I can't imagine.
- 40:46>> Speaker B: So this is his.
- 40:46>> Speaker C: This is his.
- 40:47>> Speaker B: Oh, perfect.
- 40:48>> Speaker C: There you go.
- 40:48>> Speaker A: This is his, uh, just this
- 40:51week we had a set of sneakers in here. They're not here anymore.
- 40:54And that. We had some construction guys that were coming in and using our bathroom. They saw him and
- 40:57they thought it was weird, so they set him outside the bathroom. Now, you
- 41:00must be thinking, if his shoes are here,
- 41:03what did he walk out in?
- 41:04>> Speaker C: Right, right.
- 41:05>> Speaker A: Heaven knows.
- 41:06>> Speaker B: Well, that was what I was going to say is like, is he getting in and
- 41:09getting too warm from the job and then
- 41:11ditching parts of the clothes?
- 41:13>> Speaker A: Oh, I can tell you exactly why it's happening,
- 41:16but I don't care what he thinks. Um, he
- 41:19is one of the few.
- 41:21>> Speaker B: Who'S full stripped down when it's Aaron
- 41:24badly, too, apparently. He was like, poop
- 41:26naked.
- 41:28>> Speaker A: Another one I understand the merit of. Used to be that way. In some
- 41:31ways, yeah. Oh, not in some ways. I used to do that.
- 41:34>> Speaker C: Really?
- 41:34>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Growing up, it's like, especially as a kid.
- 41:37>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 41:37>> Speaker A: It's like, why would I want to.
- 41:38>> Speaker B: Risk getting it all?
- 41:39>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 41:40>> Speaker A: I mean, it's not like I'm a messy user.
- 41:42Porcelain throne. But why
- 41:45risk a potential, uh, splu
- 41:48shit, whatever.
- 41:51And also, there's something freeing about it. Something more
- 41:54comfortable. Your ankles aren't bound by the restrictions of your.
- 41:56>> Speaker B: But this is at your.
- 42:00Because that every time someone says, yeah, I poop
- 42:03in the buff, or I go to the bathroom in the buff, I'm like, I'd
- 42:06like to say it.
- 42:06>> Speaker A: Was only at my, um, home.
- 42:09>> Speaker B: Okay. Uh, going back, you were
- 42:12not the Johnny situation.
- 42:13>> Speaker A: No, absolutely not.
- 42:14>> Speaker B: I just had to. No, because somebody
- 42:16is going to be like, no, you didn't ask him about John.
- 42:19And I'm so perfect.
- 42:21>> Speaker A: Absolutely not. That was when I had grown out of it.
- 42:23>> Speaker C: Yes. Good.
- 42:24>> Speaker A: I will tell you, a big proponent of what made me grow out of
- 42:27that was actually Cyrus.
- 42:29>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 42:30>> Speaker A: He knew this about the men in my family.
- 42:33It's a recurring thing.
- 42:34>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 42:35>> Speaker A: And there was a youth trip we went on when I was one of his
- 42:38youth students, 13 or something. I'm pretty sure Aaron Badley
- 42:41was there. We were somewhere else, working at a
- 42:43church, painting and fixing it up and stuff service
- 42:46project. And we're all in
- 42:49the shower because it was a camp, too. We're in the showers and stuff in the
- 42:52bathrooms, and all the guys are in there showering,
- 42:55getting ready for bed and all that stuff and using the
- 42:58bathroom. And Cyrus was walking down the stalls and
- 43:01guessing who was in each stall by just their shoes. As a
- 43:03joke, he gets to mine and goes, well, the
- 43:06pants and shirt are in front of the
- 43:09feet, so I know that's Jerry.
- 43:10>> Speaker C: Oh, no.
- 43:11>> Speaker A: And then I went, oh, this is known about me.
- 43:13>> Speaker B: And from that moment on, it was, yeah, he cured.
- 43:15>> Speaker A: I was a new man.
- 43:16>> Speaker C: Wow.
- 43:17>> Speaker A: But my brother, 20 years old.
- 43:20Now, I don't know about stall situations,
- 43:23but I do know
- 43:26he's on the regular private bathrooms and he'll defend
- 43:29it. He'll defend it.
- 43:30>> Speaker B: Oh, perfect. That's the vibe
- 43:33that we want. People who are defending difficult
- 43:36positions, for sure.
- 43:38>> Speaker A: That's my brother in a whole nutshell.
- 43:39>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 43:40>> Speaker B: Uh, so some shower specific questions, and
- 43:43these are the, like, just going to ask them
- 43:46tone. Have you ever taken a dark shower?
- 43:48>> Speaker A: Dark shower? Oh, just in the dark.
- 43:50>> Speaker B: That's not code for dark shower.
- 43:51>> Speaker C: No.
- 43:51>> Speaker B: Dark shower.
- 43:52>> Speaker C: It's not.
- 43:52>> Speaker A: Uh, certainly, yeah.
- 43:53>> Speaker C: Okay. Um.
- 43:57>> Speaker B: Is it by choice? Do you like it?
- 43:59>> Speaker A: I've done it because power was out.
- 44:01>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 44:01>> Speaker A: Power is out by choice. Which also meant, I think in that
- 44:04case, also meant the shower was cold.
- 44:07>> Speaker C: Uh.
- 44:07>> Speaker B: Oh, true.
- 44:08>> Speaker A: Yeah, true. In some cases, that's not the case with power, but that
- 44:11one was. Uh, but by choice. I think I
- 44:14have by choice before when I was, like, sick
- 44:17or something and I didn't want, like, the lights.
- 44:19>> Speaker B: Were bothering my too much.
- 44:20>> Speaker A: Yeah, I think I've done that. I also think I just did
- 44:23it once, showering in the dark.
- 44:25But it's a dangerous game.
- 44:27>> Speaker B: See, it's my go to. Um, really, I almost
- 44:30exclusively shower in the dark. Why?
- 44:34I had a guy on the show, he also apparently does this
- 44:37sometimes, and, uh, he described it, especially if you're showering in
- 44:40the morning. He's like, it's like you are birthed into your
- 44:42day. It's dark, the water warms
- 44:45you up. What a weird.
- 44:48Just like, the
- 44:51light is the last. Like, I don't want
- 44:54this right now. I want it in a little bit.
- 44:56>> Speaker A: No, I get that. Because you're not fully awake.
- 44:59Right. But you want to wake up peacefully, kind of.
- 45:01>> Speaker B: And it's not pitch black. There's usually like a
- 45:04nightlight or something that's given just enough to make
- 45:07you be able to not drop
- 45:10everything and stub your toe and all this
- 45:12stuff.
- 45:13>> Speaker A: Um, that's interesting.
- 45:14>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 45:15>> Speaker A: Maybe I'll have to try it.
- 45:16>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 45:16>> Speaker B: Have you ever eaten an orange in the shower? Like, you would eat
- 45:19an apple?
- 45:21>> Speaker A: So, like, you peel, like, you're only asking me this question
- 45:23because somebody has.
- 45:25>> Speaker B: No, it's a thing. It's an Internet thing. Uh,
- 45:28I mean, maybe three or four years ago, where people would. They would
- 45:31peel the orange and then they would just get in the shower and eat the now
- 45:34peeled, like, orange globe, like an
- 45:36apple. And the juices just go everywhere
- 45:39because it's that way. But they don't care because they're in the shower.
- 45:42But then you get, like, I have down.
- 45:45>> Speaker A: It makes sense. It's the most effective way. If you're going to eat an orange that way.
- 45:48Right, because you're ensuring that you aren't covered
- 45:51in gunk.
- 45:53>> Speaker B: Um, gunk.
- 45:55>> Speaker A: But I would say, no, haven't done that. Have eaten an orange that
- 45:58way just for fun. And I will say it's the superior way of eating an orange, but
- 46:01the juice is not worth the squeeze.
- 46:02>> Speaker C: Uh, there you go.
- 46:03>> Speaker A: Pun intended, actually, yeah. Um,
- 46:06but I mean, it is superior. The orange tastes different when you eat it that
- 46:08way.
- 46:10>> Speaker C: Really?
- 46:10>> Speaker A: Oh, I'll die on.
- 46:11>> Speaker B: Okay, I have an orange every day at lunch, so my coworkers are
- 46:14going to get to watch me act like a crazy person tomorrow.
- 46:16>> Speaker A: I do think it tastes different. Yeah, I really do.
- 46:19>> Speaker B: I'm going for it tomorrow. Oh, yeah, I'm trying it out, but.
- 46:21>> Speaker A: Then, I mean, you're not in the shower, so you're going to have to
- 46:24deal with mess.
- 46:25>> Speaker B: Yeah, it's fine. I work at a high school. They spill everywhere.
- 46:27>> Speaker A: They'll probably find it hilarious anyway.
- 46:29>> Speaker B: Oh, I would never do that in front of them. M
- 46:32they would film it and put it on the Internet and be like, whoa, Mr.
- 46:35Hoover's crazy.
- 46:36>> Speaker A: Uh, just get royalties and you're fine.
- 46:38>> Speaker B: Oh, shoot.
- 46:39>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 46:41>> Speaker B: Have you ever. Okay,
- 46:44do you have any snacks or drinks in the shower? Have
- 46:47you ever taken.
- 46:48>> Speaker A: I certainly have. Only because you hear
- 46:51that people do it and you think, okay, either if.
- 46:54>> Speaker B: They can do it, why can't I?
- 46:55>> Speaker A: Exactly. Or maybe there's got to be a reason.
- 46:59I don't think it's worth.
- 47:00>> Speaker B: So do you like Lacroix?
- 47:03>> Speaker A: I actually really do. I love sparkling water.
- 47:05>> Speaker B: I think that lacroix or any sparkling
- 47:08water doesn't, uh, have to be Lacroix
- 47:11is best.
- 47:12>> Speaker A: I can tell you're sponsored by Lacroix.
- 47:13>> Speaker B: Oh, man. It's the dream
- 47:16is best. Mowing. Like
- 47:19actively mowing or in the
- 47:21shower.
- 47:22>> Speaker A: Okay, why? What changes it?
- 47:25>> Speaker B: In the shower, there's just something about, like,
- 47:28it's bitey and cold and you can
- 47:31just kind of position. Yeah, you can just kind of drink it
- 47:34faster than normal because everything's already
- 47:36warm.
- 47:37>> Speaker A: Interesting.
- 47:38>> Speaker B: And you can kind of feel it going all the way down. And, uh,
- 47:41it's surreal.
- 47:42>> Speaker A: I can certainly relate to, there are those times
- 47:45where the outside of you is one temperature and
- 47:48you are consuming the opposite. And so you can feel it
- 47:51moving.
- 47:51>> Speaker C: Exactly.
- 47:52>> Speaker A: That is an interesting sensation.
- 47:53>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 47:54>> Speaker A: And I definitely like it more. Well, I don't
- 47:56know what's better. This is an interesting question. What's better being
- 47:59freezing cold and experiencing the sensation of very
- 48:02hot liquid coursing through your body or
- 48:06really hot weather? Well, I don't know. I prefer to be in
- 48:09the cold anyway. So I'd have to say that the, uh, first
- 48:12one.
- 48:12>> Speaker C: But.
- 48:13>> Speaker A: No, that's interesting. That's an interesting reason.
- 48:15>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 48:15>> Speaker B: And the mowing is just. There's something because I think
- 48:18it's because mowing feels so, like.
- 48:21I love mowing.
- 48:22>> Speaker A: Really?
- 48:23>> Speaker B: Like free therapy for me.
- 48:25>> Speaker A: I like it when it's over, but
- 48:28that's it. The completion, it's a.
- 48:31I have to.
- 48:31>> Speaker B: Do this activity, right? And then just having this
- 48:34drink that just stands for fanciness and
- 48:38kind of like, it's kind of
- 48:41like, look at what I've got going on here while I'm
- 48:43doing this.
- 48:44>> Speaker A: Uh, that's probably the best reason I can imagine.
- 48:46>> Speaker B: Yeah. So then no snacks in the
- 48:49shower?
- 48:50>> Speaker A: Uh, not currently.
- 48:53I don't know if I've ever eaten. I know I drank a coke in the
- 48:56shower.
- 48:57>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 48:57>> Speaker A: Yeah. Um, that's great. I think I
- 48:59did. No, I don't think I've ever gone with
- 49:02snacks.
- 49:04>> Speaker B: Snacks are a little more dangerous. There's a sogginess that you have
- 49:07to avoid also.
- 49:08>> Speaker A: Just like, depending on what the snack is. Unless
- 49:11I'm going full, like, plate and fork, I'm
- 49:13touching whatever I'm eating with my bare hand.
- 49:18I would assume if you're doing that, you have to eat it at the beginning, right?
- 49:21Because if not, your hands might be touching stuff.
- 49:24>> Speaker B: I had a dude and he's like, yeah, I had the sandwich in the shower.
- 49:27I'm like, oh, what sandwich and chips? And I'm like,
- 49:29how? And he goes, well, you just keep putting it back outside the
- 49:32shower every.
- 49:33>> Speaker A: Time you take a bite.
- 49:34>> Speaker B: But I'm sitting here going, you can't.
- 49:36>> Speaker A: Wash between bites then, right?
- 49:38>> Speaker B: And your hand is wet. Yeah, it's going to
- 49:41ruin the sandwich. Like three bites in.
- 49:44>> Speaker A: And then if they're chips and they've got, like, the powder flavor,
- 49:46then your fingers.
- 49:47>> Speaker B: Yeah, well, he is a monster.
- 49:50>> Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, well, never mind.
- 49:51>> Speaker B: Um, and then what about on the toilet? Any
- 49:54snacks or drinks on the toilet?
- 50:00>> Speaker A: I've had, like, a bottle of water before and been like, wow, I'm sitting
- 50:03here, right? I'm not close to being done. I need a drink
- 50:06of water. Taking a drink of water.
- 50:07>> Speaker B: Hydrate.
- 50:08>> Speaker A: Um, I know for a fact,
- 50:12purely out of, I have to do this because
- 50:14I have to both be
- 50:17ingesting energy
- 50:19provisions circumstantially while
- 50:22I'm expelling it, or what's left of
- 50:25it, I have done it.
- 50:28I think it's a little gross.
- 50:30>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 50:31>> Speaker A: Just because there's particles in the air.
- 50:34>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 50:34>> Speaker B: Bathrooms aren't freighting.
- 50:35>> Speaker A: No. But I guess if I'm in the
- 50:38right situation where I don't have a choice, I'm not opposed to it,
- 50:41but if you do, it probably shouldn't.
- 50:43>> Speaker B: Yeah. Um,
- 50:46it is what it is. Uh,
- 50:51uh, this is where you learn.
- 50:53>> Speaker A: A lot about people.
- 50:54>> Speaker B: Um, have you ever performed a
- 50:57waffle stomp? M. No.
- 50:59Do you know what a waffle stomp is?
- 51:01>> Speaker A: Oh, I'm familiar. Very good. Where toilet
- 51:04activity is relegated to showers.
- 51:06>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 51:06>> Speaker A: And then you have no choice but to shove it. I'm
- 51:09familiar.
- 51:10>> Speaker C: Um.
- 51:10>> Speaker B: So you have not performed that?
- 51:12>> Speaker A: No.
- 51:12>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 51:13>> Speaker B: Would you, what would it
- 51:16take?
- 51:17>> Speaker A: What would it take? Are you talking monetarily?
- 51:20>> Speaker B: No.
- 51:23>> Speaker C: Emergency.
- 51:23>> Speaker B: Uh, so are you, like, I'm going to
- 51:25shut it off. I'm going to get out and I'm just going to go to the bathroom.
- 51:28>> Speaker A: Oh, I've done that. Which is the worst
- 51:31way to go to the bathroom or one of.
- 51:33>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 51:34>> Speaker B: So in my opinion, there's slippery. There's three
- 51:36options when you're in the shower and you have to, you can do that,
- 51:40which is, I think you're catching
- 51:4290% of 85% of
- 51:45people just like, they're going to get out and do it. And
- 51:48then there's the waffle stump, which I think is
- 51:51the second best, because the worst
- 51:55is the people who catch it. Like, they poop and
- 51:58catch it. Toss it in the toilet.
- 52:00>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 52:01>> Speaker B: With their hand.
- 52:03>> Speaker A: They don't have, like, a special cup for it.
- 52:04>> Speaker B: No.
- 52:05>> Speaker A: Maybe that's too classy for that option.
- 52:07>> Speaker B: Uh, they just catch it and throw it in the toilet.
- 52:10And that, to me, is a bridge.
- 52:12>> Speaker A: Too far, especially drinking sandwich at the same time.
- 52:15>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 52:15>> Speaker B: Oh, my goodness.
- 52:17>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 52:17>> Speaker B: The snacks have got to be put away for that one.
- 52:19>> Speaker A: Okay.
- 52:20>> Speaker B: Yeah, that's just a bridge too far for
- 52:23me. I can and have wrapped my
- 52:26brain around the waffle stump, but,
- 52:28um, I.
- 52:29>> Speaker A: Guess I can wrap my brain around it only in the context
- 52:32of absolute emergency.
- 52:34>> Speaker B: Right.
- 52:34>> Speaker A: But to me, an absolute emergency is a situation
- 52:37where I already made a mistake and I don't have a towel.
- 52:40>> Speaker B: To dry off with because I've already
- 52:43made a mistake.
- 52:45>> Speaker A: I started the shower process and I go, oh, I
- 52:48forgot a towel. Which, I mean, that is
- 52:51a whole.
- 52:52>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 52:53>> Speaker A: And if I've already made that fatal
- 52:55error, now I know I have to go to the bathroom. It's like, well, I'm
- 52:58going to have to sit on the toilet. It's going to be so
- 53:01slippery.
- 53:01>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 53:03>> Speaker A: Um, but I still wouldn't do that.
- 53:05>> Speaker B: You wouldn't stomp it?
- 53:06>> Speaker A: Stomp the waffle? No.
- 53:08>> Speaker B: Oh, dude.
- 53:09>> Speaker A: But then the other emergency situation I
- 53:12can think of which might justify it in my head is if, you
- 53:15know, it's not solid.
- 53:18>> Speaker B: Like I said.
- 53:20>> Speaker A: Well, in your case, I'm never blasting solids,
- 53:23okay?
- 53:25>> Speaker B: If I am, it's more.
- 53:26>> Speaker A: So are you saying that this is something you regularly.
- 53:28>> Speaker B: Oh, I don't regularly. My wife would not tolerate
- 53:31that. Um, but it has happened.
- 53:34>> Speaker A: But she tolerates a certain amount of it.
- 53:36>> Speaker B: She tolerates. Oh, yeah. No, it
- 53:39wouldn't. Let me put it this way. If I did
- 53:41it, which is consequently a
- 53:44similarly titled work of
- 53:47fiction or nonfiction, depending on who you.
- 53:53She would never know. I would make sure that it was
- 53:56cleaned up, which she didn't know.
- 53:59The one time that I did it in a shower that we
- 54:01shared, she found out later and was
- 54:04very upset. Um, she's like, no, you didn't. I
- 54:07was like, well, I had to test it.
- 54:09>> Speaker C: Oh.
- 54:10>> Speaker A: The reason you did it was only because you wanted to see what it was.
- 54:11>> Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
- 54:12>> Speaker B: No, there was no emergency.
- 54:13>> Speaker A: It was curiosity.
- 54:15>> Speaker B: Simple curiosity.
- 54:17>> Speaker A: Um, I can respect that.
- 54:20>> Speaker B: It wasn't bad anyway.
- 54:22>> Speaker A: Um, wasn't bad anyway.
- 54:25>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 54:25>> Speaker B: Uh, we don't need to go there. When
- 54:28you get to the toilet paper, how many
- 54:31sheets are you using?
- 54:34>> Speaker A: Because, uh, there's always a
- 54:36test flight.
- 54:38>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 54:38>> Speaker A: Which we have to determine for the rest of the excursion how many
- 54:41I'm using. Test flight is
- 54:45three. Well, test flight is, like,
- 54:48four, I think. And then I can decide, do I
- 54:51want to be nice and use less of it just for the next
- 54:54guy.
- 54:54>> Speaker B: Right.
- 54:56>> Speaker C: Um.
- 54:57>> Speaker A: Or in some of these
- 54:59transparency. Do I need to be using twelve?
- 55:02>> Speaker B: Right.
- 55:02>> Speaker A: But I think four or five is a happy
- 55:05medium.
- 55:05>> Speaker C: Yeah. Okay.
- 55:06>> Speaker B: That acceptable answer
- 55:09the people that are like, every time I'm using 15 to
- 55:1220 m. Why you have a blanket?
- 55:15>> Speaker A: I mean, I may be a little
- 55:18conservative on maybe, uh, six or seven is the
- 55:21most.
- 55:21>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 55:22>> Speaker A: Maybe there's some days where I'm not paying attention. And it's like a.
- 55:25Yeah. And I'm like, well, there's seven.
- 55:27>> Speaker B: Those don't count.
- 55:29>> Speaker A: I'm talking, like, when you're thinking about it.
- 55:30>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 55:31>> Speaker A: Probably five or six.
- 55:33>> Speaker C: Yeah. Okay.
- 55:34>> Speaker B: Uh, and then the toilet paper
- 55:37is on the thing. You've replaced the roll.
- 55:39>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 55:40>> Speaker A: Is this the over under?
- 55:41>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 55:41>> Speaker B: Are you over under?
- 55:42>> Speaker A: I was waiting for this.
- 55:43>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 55:43>> Speaker A: Over.
- 55:44>> Speaker B: Really?
- 55:45>> Speaker A: Oh, 100%. Are you an under?
- 55:47>> Speaker B: It's not important.
- 55:48>> Speaker C: Um.
- 55:49>> Speaker A: Okay.
- 55:50>> Speaker B: I've struck a. I have my reasons, and
- 55:52we'll defend them one day. Nobody agrees with
- 55:55me, and that's okay. Um,
- 55:58why are you an over guy?
- 56:03>> Speaker A: One, uh, purely aesthetic.
- 56:06>> Speaker B: I can't argue with it.
- 56:07>> Speaker A: Uh, I think it looks better.
- 56:09>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 56:10>> Speaker A: M two, I believe, the original patent.
- 56:13Yes, I'm sure you've heard that.
- 56:15>> Speaker B: Oh, my wife has showed me this.
- 56:17>> Speaker A: Uh, which I think is a stupid reason.
- 56:22Let's pretend for a second that under is better, which it's not,
- 56:25but let's pretend it is. If under was better, just because
- 56:28the patent showed it, over means literally
- 56:31nothing.
- 56:32>> Speaker B: Right?
- 56:32>> Speaker A: So I will not use that as
- 56:35defense for my case. We can throw that out, and if
- 56:38anybody else does, it should be ignored.
- 56:40>> Speaker B: There you go.
- 56:41>> Speaker A: I like they should be ignored, frankly.
- 56:43>> Speaker C: No, just kidding.
- 56:47>> Speaker A: Uh, aesthetic, sure. But also aesthetic, uh, only
- 56:50goes so far. Functionality is superior, and I think
- 56:53when it's under, depending on the system that's being
- 56:55used, under can get jammed a little bit in a
- 56:58way that over doesn't.
- 57:00>> Speaker C: Got it.
- 57:00>> Speaker A: Gravity.
- 57:01>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 57:01>> Speaker A: Um, the pull. Yeah.
- 57:04And I really despise, especially some
- 57:07of those public restrooms that have the thing that's gravity is
- 57:09pulling the system down, and they chose to go
- 57:12under. I bet you it's intentional because people.
- 57:15>> Speaker B: Use less, but, oh, guaranteed.
- 57:17>> Speaker A: The thing is pinning the paper.
- 57:19>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 57:19>> Speaker A: You can't get out, and then it tears, and it's always with that really thin
- 57:22paper. And then you got to try and stick your
- 57:25fingers in there to try and find the paper. But my fingers
- 57:28are massive sausage links, and I can't get them in
- 57:31the. If I had my
- 57:34choice, over. Okay, but at home
- 57:36or, like here, I don't think I
- 57:39look. Yeah, I just throw it on there and then I
- 57:42go, oh, I accidentally didn't go over.
- 57:45And I know I like it over, but I don't care.
- 57:48>> Speaker B: I like it under, but I also don't care when
- 57:51I do it. I've replaced the role and I've done
- 57:54it, and we, uh, should all be
- 57:56happy for that.
- 57:59>> Speaker A: Yeah, I see what you're saying.
- 58:00>> Speaker B: Done that.
- 58:01>> Speaker A: What a gentleman.
- 58:02>> Speaker B: And where's my gold star now? It's
- 58:05one of those things for me. I remembered to do it.
- 58:08Very good. Well, hey, uh,
- 58:11ah, just as we wrap up and close, I wanted
- 58:14to just talk to you about under the influence, and
- 58:17I know that you were talking about its
- 58:19trajectory, but tell me about
- 58:22all the stuff that you're doing and what you got going
- 58:25on.
- 58:27>> Speaker A: Um, under the influence.
- 58:29There's a bit of a double meaning there. It's a joke.
- 58:33We're not talking about Hennessy on the show under influence.
- 58:35Is a podcast, uh, that I do with, uh,
- 58:38my brother and my best friend.
- 58:42Um, well, other than my brother, my other best friend, I should
- 58:44say, um, the three of us do it. The joke
- 58:47there is that, uh, we're under the influence of Jesus.
- 58:50>> Speaker C: There you go. Right?
- 58:51>> Speaker A: And it's intentionally campy for a reason.
- 58:53>> Speaker C: Right?
- 58:53>> Speaker B: Hey, which, by the way, uh, I
- 58:56absolutely love your intro with the guy
- 58:59getting.
- 59:00>> Speaker A: That's Jude, my brother. It cracks me up by
- 59:03a real police officer.
- 59:04>> Speaker B: Really? That makes it better?
- 59:07>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah. That detail. This might be the first
- 59:10time I've ever shared that detail in any
- 59:13formal form. Um, it
- 59:16only just adds to it for us knowing that jude,
- 59:19now, he wasn't actually pulled over, right. But it was just like, hey, we know this
- 59:22guy to be a cop. That's the only reason we're asking you to do
- 59:25it.
- 59:25>> Speaker B: Yeah, that's, uh, awesome. That's super cool.
- 59:26>> Speaker A: It was done before I was involved in the show. They made that because Jude had this
- 59:29idea for a show and then I got involved and we kind of changed things. But we use the
- 59:32same intro. Yeah, I love the intro. It's funny. And we've
- 59:35got two variants. The one we use for season one and then the
- 59:38season two one that we're doing is, uh, where they did it in terrible Boston
- 59:41accents.
- 59:42>> Speaker B: Okay, so I've heard the Boston accents. I need to go
- 59:45back to some of the earlier ones because
- 59:49I jumped in like, a couple of episodes in season
- 59:51two and I went back to the beginning of it and need to go
- 59:54farther back.
- 59:55>> Speaker A: Yeah, we got 24 episode seasons. We're doing six month
- 59:58season chunks.
- 59:59>> Speaker C: Right.
- 59:59>> Speaker A: Because we do weekly. Um, and
- 1:00:02they range between an hour and 45
- 1:00:04minutes at the most. But it's just the three of
- 1:00:07us. We found ourselves in a situation. We were living together
- 1:00:10for a while and we see each other regularly. We'd
- 1:00:13like to sit and talk to one another.
- 1:00:14>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 1:00:15>> Speaker A: And we thought, everybody's got a podcast now,
- 1:00:18and most of them are just conversations between friends.
- 1:00:21We're doing that. Let's do it. And I'm also involved
- 1:00:24in an online ministry called christian influence.
- 1:00:27>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 1:00:27>> Speaker A: Which is dedicated to, uh, it started originally
- 1:00:30as a gaming centric thing.
- 1:00:32>> Speaker C: Right.
- 1:00:32>> Speaker A: Our tagline was crossover gaming.
- 1:00:34>> Speaker C: Right?
- 1:00:34>> Speaker A: Putting the gospel first. That's cool. Online. And
- 1:00:37the purpose of it is to have a place online. I mean, so many kids
- 1:00:40are playing video games, right? And parents, I think,
- 1:00:43would like to think that they know what their kids are doing or what their kids are being
- 1:00:46subjected to. But obviously, unless you're assuming the worst, you don't.
- 1:00:49>> Speaker B: Right.
- 1:00:50>> Speaker A: Um, so our goal with that is to have a place where
- 1:00:52anybody, kids, whatever, that's awesome. Can
- 1:00:55play video games, share in media and
- 1:00:58content. That is, at the very least, being made by
- 1:01:00Christians under a godly influence.
- 1:01:03>> Speaker B: That's awesome.
- 1:01:03>> Speaker A: And direction. Um, so we wanted a main podcast and
- 1:01:06show for that. So we dredged up those old audio files
- 1:01:09for the intro and went, all right, let's just do a show where
- 1:01:12the three of us who love each other and want to push each
- 1:01:15other into growing in
- 1:01:18Christ and being godly men, uh,
- 1:01:21tell funny jokes for 45 minutes and then have meaningful conversation
- 1:01:24for another 30.
- 1:01:25>> Speaker B: Oh, my goodness. And it really is.
- 1:01:29I don't know how much of it is returning
- 1:01:31bits and how much of it is, like, new stuff, because,
- 1:01:34like I said, I'm season two here. But you all
- 1:01:37recently did one where you look at some,
- 1:01:42for lack of a better term, like, just whack
- 1:01:45Bible teaching with quotes like,
- 1:01:49um, prosperity folks, and just talk about,
- 1:01:52man, that type stuff. I hear it and I'm like,
- 1:01:55I live for this.
- 1:01:56>> Speaker C: Oh, good.
- 1:01:56>> Speaker B: This is so good.
- 1:01:57>> Speaker A: Well, none of us are biblical scholars. None of us are
- 1:02:00trained, went, uh, to school for it. We've
- 1:02:03got some friends who work on the show with us who, if we do
- 1:02:06anything out of line, will correct us.
- 1:02:09Uh, well trained Bible teacher and working on
- 1:02:12his doctorate, but he will. Hey, you

- 1:02:18happened yet.
- 1:02:19>> Speaker B: Yeah, here they go.
- 1:02:20>> Speaker A: But, um. Yeah, that's important to us to make sure that we don't
- 1:02:23accidentally become what we're criticizing, right?
- 1:02:25>> Speaker B: No, but, dude, it's good. And
- 1:02:29I think that's really, um,
- 1:02:32my son, he's super into the
- 1:02:35video games, and we have done pretty good
- 1:02:37at finding
- 1:02:40who are the people that are doing the dumb stuff on here
- 1:02:43and definitely am going to
- 1:02:46get him, show him this and be
- 1:02:49like, hey, yeah. Because he
- 1:02:52loves. We do a kids ministry. He's all about it. And so
- 1:02:55just him knowing, like, yeah, these guys,
- 1:02:58they believe in Jesus like we do,
- 1:03:01buddy. And, um, that
- 1:03:03goes a long way. That's super cool.
- 1:03:05>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 1:03:05>> Speaker A: Our goal is to provide a place for all of
- 1:03:08that. The community that surrounds video games
- 1:03:11and online content of all kinds, streamers,
- 1:03:14YouTubers. We're growing. And then
- 1:03:17podcasts and stuff like that is to have a
- 1:03:20place for that community to exist that
- 1:03:23moderated and then bringing it
- 1:03:25back to what's important.
- 1:03:26>> Speaker C: Right?
- 1:03:27>> Speaker A: We enjoy the things we love, but let's do it for the glory of God.
- 1:03:30Right. And then also to provide the things themselves.
- 1:03:33So we have a Minecraft server. We have a bunch
- 1:03:36of arc servers, um, a bunch of servers in
- 1:03:39a bunch of different games and then clubs in some of the competitive
- 1:03:42first person shooter games and stuff like that. Um.
- 1:03:45>> Speaker B: That's awesome. Yeah.
- 1:03:47>> Speaker A: It's something I didn't start, but I got involved in, and then now
- 1:03:50I am a co owner in. And we're
- 1:03:52pushing it as much as we can. Well, uh, I shouldn't say
- 1:03:55pushing it as much as we can.
- 1:03:56>> Speaker B: We are, and that's called christian influence.
- 1:03:59>> Speaker A: Christian influence. Yeah. We're primarily
- 1:04:02a discord server. We have a website as well, but the

- 1:04:27>> Speaker A: Under the influence, which is just the
- 1:04:30comedy and christian life one. And
- 1:04:32then, um, I'm a huge
- 1:04:35fan of DND. We talked about at the start, and
- 1:04:38I've been playing for years. Uh, I've been told I'm pretty good at running
- 1:04:41it. And so we thought, you know what, DNd
- 1:04:44podcasts. Huge thing.
- 1:04:45>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 1:04:46>> Speaker A: Let's take our home game. That one is
- 1:04:49more edited down to be because it's like a
- 1:04:52four hour session of DND, right. Edited
- 1:04:54into two, like, hour and a half episodes.
- 1:04:57But we slap some cool music in there and throw some sound
- 1:05:00effects and, yeah, we have fun with that. That one comes out
- 1:05:03on Fridays, and that one's called, uh, of lore
- 1:05:06and legend.
- 1:05:07>> Speaker B: Of lore and legend. Sweet.
- 1:05:08>> Speaker A: Uh, yeah, it's a lot of fun.
- 1:05:10>> Speaker B: Yeah. Wherever people are
- 1:05:13listening to this nonsense, they'll probably be able
- 1:05:16to find those, I assume.
- 1:05:17>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 1:05:17>> Speaker A: Of lore and legend is not quite big enough that it comes up at the top of
- 1:05:20searches right now. There's a bunch of other shows, but if you
- 1:05:23look for under the influence or christian influence
- 1:05:25on Spotify, I've actually found that you can find that one, which is cool.
- 1:05:28>> Speaker B: Yeah, it was not hard for me to find it,
- 1:05:31so that's good. Yeah, that's awesome, man.

- 1:06:02more,
- 1:06:05I mean, weird to talk about,
- 1:06:08to be enthusiastic about. So I think there's
