- 0:15Speaker 2: with a witch and that was that. Cats can smile apparently,
- 0:21Speaker 2: whoa weird, but it doesn't always mean that they're happy.

- 1:17Speaker 3: nostalgia for from when we were younger.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I it'd be really fine. So what's something right
- 1:21Speaker 2: now that you're nostalgic for? Indy?
- 1:23Speaker 1: I was thinking about this.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Actually, I know you said right now, but I was
- 1:26Speaker 3: thinking about this earlier today riding the school bus. And
- 1:29Speaker 3: I rode the school bus from like first grade to
- 1:32Speaker 3: fifth grade, but it was all over the country, not
- 1:35Speaker 3: the same bus. But I went to so many different
- 1:36Speaker 3: schools growing up that so like Virginia.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Organ stuff like that. I went to different schools, but.
- 1:44Speaker 3: In every school I went to, in every bus, I
- 1:46Speaker 3: remember different parts of it. So like when I was
- 1:48Speaker 3: in first grade. Sorry, So like when I was in
- 1:52Speaker 3: first grade, the bus that I was on, everybody would
- 1:56Speaker 3: sing like every day we would sing different songs on
- 1:59Speaker 3: the way to school, like would be like we will
- 2:01Speaker 3: rock you. But then they added this. I never understood why,
- 2:03Speaker 3: and it irritated me. We will rock you, sock you,
- 2:09Speaker 3: put you in the face, or pick you up and
- 2:11Speaker 3: drop yeah, like why why did that get added? And
- 2:13Speaker 3: so you heard that too, Yeah, So it's weird that
- 2:15Speaker 3: like these schoolhouse things go from like state to state,
- 2:18Speaker 3: like weird cause.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Back then there wasn't internet, so these had to been
- 2:23Speaker 2: like word of mouth, yeah, like transmissible yeah something. But
- 2:29Speaker 2: so did you like live in like a place that
- 2:32Speaker 2: they did kind of weird shit with their songs.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Well, yeah, every kind of Some are like really intricate
- 2:37Speaker 3: to where like, you know that one song, like uh,
- 2:39Speaker 3: I think it was like dang dong the teacher's dead,
- 2:42Speaker 3: but they had a whole thing about it where they
- 2:45Speaker 3: had like verses and stuff in first grade, and now
- 2:48Speaker 3: that I'm older, I'm like, that's weird that. Like did
- 2:50Speaker 3: one kid just start singing the song and kid was like,
- 2:53Speaker 3: you know what, I like that and then or did
- 2:55Speaker 3: they like give lyrics out to each other, Because when
- 2:59Speaker 3: you're a kid, you must have had to hear that
- 3:01Speaker 3: so many times to know the intricacies of this fucking
- 3:04Speaker 3: song about the teacher being dead, you know.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Or like the wheels on the bus go round and
- 3:09Speaker 2: like that kind of thing. Who wrote that? Was that
- 3:11Speaker 2: kids that wrote that? Or did an adult write that?
- 3:14Speaker 2: And if adult wrote that, dude, that's not what we're
- 3:18Speaker 2: thinking about. I'm not thinking about the wheels on the
- 3:19Speaker 2: bus go round and round. I'm dealing with some drama. Yeah.
- 3:23Speaker 3: When I was in first grade, that same bus where
- 3:25Speaker 3: everybody would sing we the bus driver ran into this
- 3:28Speaker 3: tree and it like broke like three or four windows
- 3:30Speaker 3: on the side, and this girl got glass in her eye.
- 3:32Speaker 3: And shit, oh crazy, right, we should have just started
- 3:35Speaker 3: singing right after Oh her eyes are bleeding. But when
- 3:40Speaker 3: I lived in fourth grade, But when I lived in
- 3:43Speaker 3: Virginia in fourth grade, everybody was on like drum team,
- 3:48Speaker 3: so like all the kids had drum sticks drumsticks, and
- 3:53Speaker 3: they would like do beats on the bus on the
- 3:54Speaker 3: way to school. And I was like, this is so
- 3:56Speaker 3: fucking cool. It seems like every school I went to
- 3:58Speaker 3: it was like some kind of musical school.
- 4:00Speaker 1: They weren't. They were just normal schools. So I don't
- 4:02Speaker 1: know why, but yeah.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I doubt that. Oh I know, Uh do you know
- 4:09Speaker 2: what song that the kids in Boston sing?
- 4:12Speaker 1: M shipping up to Boston by dropping Murphy's.
- 4:16Speaker 2: No if they don't sing because they are hungover from
- 4:18Speaker 2: the night before. Yeah, Boston, it's our alcoholics anyway. So
- 4:23Speaker 2: uh yeah, no, that's great. Something I want to tell you.
- 4:26Speaker 2: I'm nostalgic for. I had a couple of things I
- 4:29Speaker 2: was thinking about, but then on my way here I
- 4:32Speaker 2: was to record, I was actually eating oreos, okay, and
- 4:36Speaker 2: they were like original oreos, just no double stuff, no
- 4:40Speaker 2: other flavor, just regular oreos. They are skipping so light
- 4:45Speaker 2: on the white stuff. In regular oreos, oh nowadays. Yeah,
- 4:48Speaker 2: I'm nostalgic for back in the day when you could
- 4:51Speaker 2: get by with regular oreos. You can no longer get
- 4:55Speaker 2: by on regular oreos.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Do you have to do the double stuff?
- 4:58Speaker 2: Now I have to do double stuffed or like they're
- 5:00Speaker 2: is like a step up from that. So double stuffed
- 5:03Speaker 2: is what regular oreos used to be, I think so anyway,
- 5:07Speaker 2: So I don't know if this is like a weird
- 5:09Speaker 2: connection to make. So it makes me think of how
- 5:12Speaker 2: minimum wage is in America. Sure, and that back in
- 5:15Speaker 2: the day you could support yourself on a pretty you know,
- 5:19Speaker 2: entry level job, but now you have to have two
- 5:23Speaker 2: three jobs to get by and you're barely getting by. Yeah,
- 5:27Speaker 2: and that's how it is with oreos. Is I have
- 5:30Speaker 2: to eat two to three oreos to get the same
- 5:33Speaker 2: satisfaction as one oreo. So yeah, I'm gonna.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Look up to see what an oreo is made, because
- 5:40Speaker 3: like FDR was the kind of the driving force behind
- 5:43Speaker 3: the minimum wage?
- 5:44Speaker 2: Was he the one that couldn't walk? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I was laughing that it could have walked. I
- 5:51Speaker 1: just love that. That's so he also did three.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Terms nah crazy right, yeah? Oh, did his president get
- 5:58Speaker 2: shot or something.
- 6:00Speaker 1: I know he got voted in, but he died on
- 6:01Speaker 1: his third term.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Wait how did they get I thought that you can
- 6:03Speaker 2: only do two terms.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Now it became a lot.
- 6:06Speaker 2: What else was he known for? Was he Pearl Harbor?
- 6:09Speaker 1: Yep?
- 6:09Speaker 2: Oh shit, look at me all this English or social studies.
- 6:13Speaker 3: But he was the one who kind of was the
- 6:15Speaker 3: driving force behind the minimum wage. And he's like, if
- 6:17Speaker 3: you're willing to work a full forty hour hour a
- 6:21Speaker 3: week job, you should be able to live. It doesn't
- 6:23Speaker 3: matter what you do. So that's the whole point of
- 6:24Speaker 3: minimum wage, is a minimum living wage. So I'm just
- 6:27Speaker 3: gonna see when oreos were made, because what if it's
- 6:28Speaker 3: the same year.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Yeah mm hmmm. It's like that line like you can
- 6:34Speaker 2: only pull yourself up from your bootstraps if you have
- 6:36Speaker 2: boots and with FDR, I think he said something like
- 6:40Speaker 2: you can only you can only go so far until
- 6:44Speaker 2: there's a gravel road. Yeah yeah, yeah. Anyways, that didn't
- 6:48Speaker 2: land as much. But Alec Baldwin played him, and no
- 6:53Speaker 2: he didn't. Some other guy who loves scal Baldmen played
- 6:56Speaker 2: him in a movie.
- 6:57Speaker 1: I didn't know there's any moves by FDR.
- 6:59Speaker 2: I don't know which is weird because he did so
- 7:00Speaker 2: many great No, he was in Pearl Harbor.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Yeah, well he was only gave the speech about Yeah.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Yeah, was a Baldwin doing that movie anyways. Oh, in
- 7:10Speaker 2: Pearl Harbor he played like a general or something. I
- 7:13Speaker 2: was assuming he played FDR. But I remember him standing
- 7:15Speaker 2: a lot. Yeah, unless they change that, yeah, it could
- 7:18Speaker 2: be yeah, like yeah, do they ever have him on
- 7:21Speaker 2: hooks or anything to make him look like he's standing.
- 7:24Speaker 3: No, but if I remember correctly, there was something about
- 7:28Speaker 3: his legs that they would try to hide when like
- 7:31Speaker 3: other foreign leaders came or something like that.
- 7:33Speaker 1: I can't remember, but.
- 7:33Speaker 3: They would like do things or maybe when he first
- 7:37Speaker 3: started getting sick they hit it for a long time
- 7:39Speaker 3: or so. I can't remember, something along those lines, because
- 7:41Speaker 3: they didn't want to seem weak, you know, because the.
- 7:43Speaker 1: War is going on.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Buddy of mine told me that people that have one
- 7:47Speaker 2: leg sometimes okay, that they'll buy shoes and there's Facebook
- 8:00Speaker 2: uh groups to give Yeah. Yeah, such a good idea. Yeah,
- 8:04Speaker 2: and then you can have like a six shoe collection
- 8:06Speaker 2: with pain not painful price. Yeah that's yeah, that's cool. Cool.
- 8:10Speaker 2: So yeah, that's what.
- 8:13Speaker 1: That one was.
- 8:14Speaker 3: Uh, what I was gonna say about Oreos is too.
- 8:22Speaker 1: It's with Oreos.
- 8:23Speaker 3: I'm just never a big Oreo fan growing up because
- 8:25Speaker 3: I didn't like the stuff in the middle.
- 8:26Speaker 1: I would literally scrape it off. Yeah, I just like
- 8:28Speaker 1: the actual cookie part in milk.
- 8:30Speaker 2: They're coming up with Oreos. They have different colors of Oreos,
- 8:34Speaker 2: different flavors. They have strawberry put in there, they have
- 8:37Speaker 2: other things put in there, and I don't know why
- 8:39Speaker 2: they need to do that, Like the original was great, right,
- 8:42Speaker 2: Like why why multiply that?
- 8:45Speaker 1: I do like the cheap off brand Duplex cookies. They're
- 8:49Speaker 1: like a dollar but like alls sleeve of them.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Oh, dollar Tree has some good ship.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember when I was like twenty twenty one
- 8:56Speaker 1: and twenty two.
- 8:58Speaker 3: I like, I spent all my money on alcohol, you know,
- 9:00Speaker 3: So I was living off the Dollar Tree stuff I
- 9:02Speaker 3: could get. They would sell meatballs for a dollar for
- 9:06Speaker 3: a pack of like eight or something, and then you
- 9:08Speaker 3: can get spaghetti sauce and spaghetti and uh for like
- 9:13Speaker 3: three dollars you could eat for two days.
- 9:15Speaker 1: That's thinking about money, say for alcohol, right.
- 9:18Speaker 2: My biggest thing that I nostalgia for besides Oreos is
- 9:22Speaker 2: Dollar Tree and dollar stores because they changed it now
- 9:25Speaker 2: not everything's a dollar, because my favorite thing was to
- 9:28Speaker 2: go to a dollar store and hold up something to
- 9:31Speaker 2: the employee and be like, how much is this? And
- 9:34Speaker 2: then you were earnestly like I was being like I knew.
- 9:38Speaker 1: It was a dollar, but did they know you were?
- 9:40Speaker 2: Oh? They were like like your fucking asshole, right, But
- 9:44Speaker 2: I thought was just hilarious.
- 9:46Speaker 3: So it's funny when you work in those retail type
- 9:48Speaker 3: positions like you like for me, when I worked at
- 9:50Speaker 3: the coffee shop, I always had my set jokes out
- 9:52Speaker 3: of making people like hahaha, you know, but it works
- 9:54Speaker 3: like it works on like ninety nine percent of people,
- 9:57Speaker 3: Like did you know why they called the latte a
- 9:59Speaker 3: lat Why because it costs a latte money?
- 10:02Speaker 1: Oh right, yeah. I and everybody'd be like, oh that's
- 10:05Speaker 1: a good you know, and then I'd get a little
- 10:06Speaker 1: more extra tip probably.
- 10:07Speaker 2: So I used to work at Arby's. Not to brag,
- 10:10Speaker 2: but they had a super roast beef sandwich and I
- 10:14Speaker 2: would say, have a super roast beef day, right, Yeah,
- 10:18Speaker 2: those good ships.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Do people enjoy that or not?
- 10:19Speaker 2: I got tips a lot when I worked at Arby's
- 10:23Speaker 2: and I'll tip, Like if I go to like Burger King,
- 10:25Speaker 2: I'm doing drive through like late at night, if the
- 10:28Speaker 2: person is working there, I'll give them a tip. Like
- 10:31Speaker 2: I feel, yeah, that's a good idea.
- 10:33Speaker 1: I just never thought that was like a thing.
- 10:34Speaker 2: No, I tip on like really hot days when I
- 10:37Speaker 2: have to pump, not pump. When I don't have to
- 10:40Speaker 2: pump my own gas, always tip them too.
- 10:43Speaker 1: That's really cool.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate pumping my own gas. It's the worst.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I know. Like, yeah, I'm with you. I'd prefer not
- 10:48Speaker 1: to do it too.
- 10:49Speaker 3: The last tip I gave someone, not like at a
- 10:51Speaker 3: normal setting was I was coming home I think from
- 10:55Speaker 3: the Peaches Christ and I stopped at seven eleven. I
- 10:58Speaker 3: was like, hey, do you guys have a bathroom, and goes, okay,
- 11:00Speaker 3: we're not supposed to let the public user or whatever.
- 11:02Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, buy something. He goes, no, I know,
- 11:03Speaker 3: but it's just supposed to employees. But he was like, oh,
- 11:05Speaker 3: I just do it, my cool sweet. So I peed
- 11:07Speaker 3: and then I bought like a beer or two, and
- 11:09Speaker 3: then I paid with a twenty and I just gave
- 11:10Speaker 3: him the change. I gave him like fifteen dollars. I
- 11:12Speaker 3: was literally about to piss my pants.
- 11:14Speaker 1: So that dude, thank you. Yeah, that saved my whole car,
- 11:17Speaker 1: My whole night sucked.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Oh you're going to pee yourself?
- 11:20Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 11:21Speaker 3: I had to peece so fucking bad or take the
- 11:22Speaker 3: risk of peeing outside and then like getting in big trouble.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Was it? During the day after the pe outside all
- 11:29Speaker 2: the time, I went to the rose garden to look
- 11:33Speaker 2: at flowers, and it was super early in the morning
- 11:36Speaker 2: because I had to catch when it wasn't raining to
- 11:38Speaker 2: take pictures of the flowers. Sidebar. I got some pretty
- 11:41Speaker 2: good shots of pedals that have rains. It was very beautiful.
- 11:45Speaker 2: But I just went pee outside. No one else was there,
- 11:48Speaker 2: so my sex spender. But yeah, it's just.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Like someone's like, oh this rose smells a little.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, political.
- 12:00Speaker 1: More flowers.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Yeah, oh great. So that was our first shot. This
- 12:05Speaker 2: I like it.

- 12:08Speaker 1: off track anyways.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that all right.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Just to recap, I was assologid about riding the bus
- 12:16Speaker 1: growing up. Yeah, you were nostalgic about oreos.
